I have not had a rye whisky to review for such a long time. It is high time for something a bit more spicy and different, so today I look at the Sazerac Straight Rye whiskey. This whiskey is named after the Sazerac coffee house in New Orleans, which is deemed the birthplace of the famous Sazerac cocktail.
Kicking off 2025 with a rye showdown! Today, I’m comparing Sazerac Rye vs Bulleit Rye whiskey—two bold straight ryes with distinct mash bills and flavour profiles. Which one deserves a spot on your shelf? Let’s dive in!
More side-by-side fun, and this time I am back comparing bourbons. Today I look at the Buffalo Trace vs Woodford Reserve bourbon whiskey. Comparing Saceraz vs Brown-Forman Corporation bourbon next to each other.
Bourbon was something I discovered later in my whisky journey. For years, Scotch dominated my cabinet, but once I tried the Maker’s Mark bourbon, I was hooked. I started paying much closer attention to American whiskey. The sweeter profile, rich vanilla notes, and toasted oak character immediately appealed to my palate, opening the door to a whole new category of whiskey.
This is my last side-by-side comparison for 2021, and today I am looking at a comparison between the Buffalo Trace vs Bulleit bourbon. I have enjoyed doing these comparisons. I learned so much, and it highlighted the variety in taste within the bourbon category.
