Sazerac Rye Review
Believed to be made using Buffalo Trace's low-rye rye mash bill, this whiskey arrives in an attractive, recognizable bottle with a sleek, simple logo. Aromas of stone fruit and toasted oak are pleasant but not overly intense. The palate serves a well-balanced mix of banana, grain, and a touch of spice, which lends itself to the whiskey's namesake cocktail.
