SAZERAC RYE 18 YEAR OLD 2016 750ml 90 Proof

The nose is faint on both, but the18has a little bit more there with slight notes of oak, leather and caramel and only a little spice showing up. Surprisingly, there is some slight alcohol burn on the nose. Both bring a peppery/clove spice to the palate on a caramel oak base. However, it is a subdued palate profile.
