Blanton’s Gold Limited Edition Store Pick & Sazerac Rye Collection – Bourbon & Rye Bundle (4-Pack)

Blanton’s Gold Edition (Store Pick)

Taste Notes: A rich, oily profile featuring dark fudge, honey, and tobacco. The higher proof brings forward sharp white pepper and rye spice, balanced by citrus peel and heavy oak creaminess.

Food Pairings: Prime Rib with a horseradish crust or Aged Gouda. The spice and weight of the bourbon handle rich, savory fats perfectly.

Sazerac Rye 90 Proof ("Baby Saz")

• Taste Notes: This is the most delicate and "floral" of the bunch. It opens with sweet vanilla and candied citrus peel, followed by a soft, herbal mid-palate of fresh mint and licorice. The finish is clean and "zippy" with a light dusting of white pepper.
• Food Pairings: Think light and briny. It is world-famous for pairing with fresh oysters or smoked salmon on a cracker. The citrus and mint notes act almost like a garnish for seafood.

Sazerac Rye 100 Proof

• Taste Notes: The extra 10 degrees of proof adds "chewiness" and weight. You’ll find deeper caramel corn and toasted oak flavors here. The spice shifts from white pepper to bold cloves and anise, with a structured, "rye bread" finish that lingers longer on the tongue.
• Food Pairings: This is the ultimate "Deli Whiskey." It pairs perfectly with Pastrami or Corned Beef on rye bread. The herbal, peppery notes in the whiskey mirror the caraway seeds and peppercorn crust of the meat.

Sazerac Rye 125 Proof ("Full Proof")

• Taste Notes: This is an absolute "flavor bomb." Because it's bottled at barrel strength, the fruit notes turn into dark cherry and hot honey. The spice is intense—think cinnamon red-hots and charred oak—with a thick, oily mouthfeel that coats the entire palate in dark chocolate and leather.
• Food Pairings: You need bold, heavy hitters here. It stands up beautifully to Blackened Ribeye steak or spicy Andouille sausage. The high alcohol content "cuts" through the fat of the steak, while the honeyed sweetness tames the heat of Cajun spices.
