Sazerac 18 Year Old Rye Whiskey 2015

Eye: Maple Syrup.

Nose: A nice pop of rye followed by butterscotch, baking spice, vanilla taffy, citrus and just a touch of dill. It’s a decent aroma all around and it was pleasant enough while sitting and sniffing it on the patio of Everyone Royce bar.

Palate: Butterscotch, wood, rye spice, a buttery sweetness, a touch of fruit and an earthy, almost herbal, undertone. Again it was decent and was perfectly enjoyable to sit and sip, but it wasn’t anything particularly special either.

Finish: A med-long fade fueled by rye, wood, dark sweets and a bit of fruit.
