Sazerac K&L Exclusive Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey (750ml)

Review Date: 08-13-2026

When we received the opportunity to get our hands on an uncommon single barrel of Sazerac Rye for the New York location, we all looked at each other with a smirk and a knowing head nod. Months later, the K&L pick arrived and those nods persisted albeit a little more emphatically. Coming in at 6 years and 10 months old, this 90-proof classic out kicked the coverage in every way. The nose is generous with hits of caramel covered apples, bing cherries, wafts of well-worn leather and herbal spices. The palate is super balanced carrying that signature Sazerac cinnamon, more caramel, tea leaves and rye spice which all give way to a surprising chocolate-mint on your pillow surprise. In the end it’s the rye spice and a dash of pepper that sits around awhile, like a party guest that doesn’t understand the evening is over. A great choice for fans of Sazerac and just really good rye.

Price: $34.99
