Buffalo Trace Distillery Announces Sazerac Rye Whiskey 100 Proof
Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced a new, higher-proof addition to its Sazerac Rye Whiskey portfolio: Sazerac Rye Whiskey 100 Proof.
Buffalo Trace claims that the new expression was developed in response to demand from bartenders and whiskey enthusiasts, and is designed to offer enhanced flavor, versatility, and control in cocktail creation while maintaining the smooth, approachable profile that defines Sazerac Rye.
Sazerac Rye Whiskey 100 Proof is described as having aromas of “clove, vanilla, anise, and pepper.” On the palate, it reveals “subtle notes of candied spices and citrus.” It concludes with “a smooth finish with hints of licorice.”
Sazerac Rye Whiskey 100 Proof is now available in select markets for a suggested retail price of $29.99 per 1 L bottle.
Additionally, Sazerac Rye Whiskey 100 Proof has joined the Sazerac Barrel Select (SBS) program as its newest single barrel offering. This provides select accounts the opportunity to hand-pick their own barrel of Sazerac Rye 100 Proof. To celebrate the launch, the first 100 on-premise accounts to select a barrel will receive a limited-edition commemorative barrelhead to display in their bar or restaurant.
