Sazerac Rye Full Proof
Appearance / Color
Deep amber to copper with oily legs and proof-weighted texture.
Nose / Aroma / Smell
Rye spice, orange peel, caramel, dill-herbal lift, toasted oak, mint, and pepper.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Caramel sweetness, rye grain, orange, black pepper, clove, oak, honey, rye bread, mint, and vanilla.
Finish
Warm and peppery; rye spice, citrus peel, toasted oak, clove, and drying herbal notes linger.
Sazerac Rye Full Proof takes the familiar Buffalo Trace rye profile and turns up the volume to 125 proof, the same proof used for barrel entry. It keeps the approachable caramel-citrus side of standard Sazerac Rye, but adds more pepper, oak, grain, herbal lift, and heat.
