Bottled at 125 proof, Sazerac Rye Full Proof amplifies the brand’s signature spicy, peppery, and dry profile, delivering a sipping whiskey of remarkable intensity. At the same time, it highlights the versatility of Sazerac Rye and reflects Buffalo Trace Distillery’s commitment to crafting exceptional whiskey experiences for enthusiasts at every stage of their rye journey.
This high-proof rye opens with bold aromas of rye spice, fresh dill, smoky oak, and warm spice, immediately signaling its intensity and depth.
On the palate, it delivers a surprisingly smooth sweetness up front, followed by floral and herbal notes, supported by rich oak and classic rye grain character throughout.
The finish is lightly peppery with a late rye spice that gently lingers, offering warmth and complexity without being overwhelming.
