Final Thoughts
The flagship bottling, often called “Baby Saz,” greets the nose with aromas of clove, cinnamon, and citrus peel layered over honey and vanilla. On the palate, it opens with a burst of rye spice, cracked pepper, and orange zest, followed by caramel, nutmeg, and a touch of licorice. The finish is smooth yet warming, with lingering notes of baking spice and candied citrus. At 90 proof, it’s versatile: approachable neat, balanced with a splash of water, and the ultimate backbone for cocktails like the Sazerac or Manhattan. It pairs beautifully with charcuterie, pecan pie, or dark chocolate.
