About this bottle
Sazerac 18 Year Old 2018 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a straight rye whiskey from Kentucky, United States made by Sazerac. It is bottled at 45% ABV, carrying a 18-year age statement, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: The nose offers rich, savoury spices on a bed of dried fruits and peels. There are effortless, tumbling whirls of stone fruits and coffee beans, traces of cigar leaf sweetness and thick chunks of oak; on the palate: The palate develops, toffee sweet, with exotic spice. Creaking oak clings ever present with about as much forceful rye as one can imagine. This is sublime, powerful stuff; finish: A sparkling finish of oak, spice and red berries.

Serving & pairing
Rye’s peppery spice is the classic base for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. Pairs well with charcuterie and dark chocolate.
Rye versus bourbon — what is the difference?
Both are American whiskeys aged in new charred oak. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, which gives sweetness; rye must be at least 51% rye grain, which gives pepper, spice and a drier finish. Canadian whisky is often called “rye” by tradition even when the mash bill contains little rye.
