Tasting Notes

Nose

Black pepper, anise, mint, and rye bread crust over dark caramel and a flicker of orange zest. Lively and aromatic despite the proof.

Palate

Bold rye spice, baking cocoa, clove, candied orange, and toffee, with a coiled herbal heat that builds rather than bites.

Finish

Long, warming, and spice-forward — pepper, mint, and lingering oak with a thread of dark chocolate.

Expert Review

9/10

The barrel-proof rye of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection — named for the New Orleans bartender who first dressed the Sazerac in rye whiskey.
