Buffalo Trace distills it at 90 proof with a profile built for that glass: clove, vanilla, anise, and pepper on the nose, candied spice and citrus through the palate, and a smooth finish carrying hints of licorice. Regulars call it Baby Saz to set it apart from its 18-year sibling, and it earns the affection — spicy without sharpness, sweet without going soft. Build it into a proper Sazerac with absinthe and Peychaud's bitters, or pour it neat and taste why a city named a cocktail after it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to drink Sazerac Rye\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkip the ice on this one — the spice and citrus carry better at room temperature, which is also why the cocktail itself gets stirred, not shaken, and served up with no cubes.
