Sazerac 18 Year Old 2000 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
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.
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.
