Sazerac Rye 6 Year

Year Sampled: 2008

About: This is a small batch rye whiskey made at the Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky.

Color: Reddish brown

Nose: Strong vanilla, savory spices, heavy grain (rye, unsuprisingly) AND flowers. Very delectable!

Palate: Oily, light tartness throughout. Toffee hints.

Finish: Bitter bite that starts at the back of tongue then moves forward. Very short and unspectacular.

Overall: A exceptional rye whiskey crafted with the excellence I've come to expect from my favorite American whiskey distillery.
