Sazerac Rye 18 year old (Buffalo Trace Antique Collection 2017)

Ah the pleasant aroma of warm rye rolls nails its opening but so much more awaits. Balsam peppercorn almond butter arrowroot pie crust pine nuts pumpkin pie brown sugar and savory toasted rye bread tingle as slight hints of pear tobacco and citrus develop. Then it’s earth from sautéed mushrooms to soil. The long strong finish presents baking spices. Lovely sipping rye!
