Sazerac Rye 18 2012 Release

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Rye

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 45%

Score: 92 Points

One of the great Ryes, with a nose full of warm spices, cinnamon, brown sugar, toasted rye bread, oak, and honey notes. The taste is spicy and intense with strong cinnamon and hints of licorice, molasses, brown sugar, and honey. The finish is long and spicy with just a hint of smoke, licorice, and brown sugar. Excellent!
