This 10-year-old straight rye whiskey would make a top-notch Sazerac. Despite its rich, luxe aroma, this is light and smooth on the palate. Look for notes of sweet, creamy caramel and dried fruit enlivened by a signature rye bite and a sweet, surprisingly delicate finish with just a sprinkling of ginger and cinnamon. The sepia photo on the label features “gambler, buffalo hunter, Army scout, gunfighter and newspaperman” William “Bat” Masterson.
