When I came to The Party Source in 2001, we had a mere three ryes. Today, this category has undergone a most beautiful renaissance, with 23-year-olds standing cheek to jowl with such young whiskeys as this lovely Sazaerc. (Here's a list of all our rye whiskies.) Buffalo Trace launched this rye in the antique bottle in 2004, and it quickly rose to prominence as perhaps the definitive example of the flavor of distilled rye grain. If you want to know what rye tastes like, pick up a bottle of Sazerac. End of discussion. No other Kentucky rye whiskey offers such a white-knuckled, eye-watering thrill ride of ribald rye flavor. You could crack a tooth on this rye, such is the clarity and crispness of its über-spicy rye grain flavor. It is surely one of the great whiskeys of modern times, considering that Buffalo Trace only began selling it at this young age in 2004. As a representative of America's first whiskey, Sazerac ought to be on the back of very single bar in the nation. It is that good, and essential to understanding rye whiskey.
