Description

The brand new Sazerac Rye 100 Proof steps up the game for rye whiskey lovers and cocktail makers. With a bolder strength, it delivers more spice, structure, and character than the standard 90-proof version—yet remains approachable, smooth enough to sip, and priced to be used in drinks rather than hidden on a shelf. Presented in a 1 liter bottle. Origins & Craftsmanship Produced by the Sazerac Company, distilled at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky, USA. It is a straight rye whiskey, NAS (“no age statement”) though US law requires it to be aged at least 2 years; many reports suggest much of the stock is closer to 4-6 years.  Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), up from the 90 proof of the regular version.  Offered in a 1-liter (1000 ml) bottle, which reinforces its design for cocktail use or larger pours.  Tasting Profile Sense Notes / Highlights Nose / Aroma Clove, sweet vanilla, anise/licorice, pepper. Also glimmers of citrus peel and baking spice.  Palate / Taste Richer spice, rye pepper upfront; notes of candied orange, caramel, vanilla; subtle fruit (apricot, citrus) weave in. The extra proof gives body and warmth without overwhelming sweetness.  Finish Warming and spicy, with lingering rye spice, pepper, a hint of oak or barrel char, and a touch of herbal or minty note in some cases.  Key Specs & Identity Spec Detail Name Sazerac Rye 100 Proof Volume 1.0 Liter (1000 ml)  Proof / ABV 100 proof (50% ABV)  Type Straight rye whiskey, NAS  Mash bill style “Low-rye” style mash bill (Buffalo Trace’s rye mash bill is not very high in rye relative to other rye whiskey - more sweet + rye) Intent / Use-Case Designed with bartenders / mixologists in mind; made to perform in cocktails while still offering more flavor and backbone than softer rye or lower-proof bottlings.
