Baby Saz, rye at first sight

Hey guys. How’s it going?

It’s the weekend and I am treating myself to this lovely Sazerac Rye 👌🏻 😊🇺🇸🥃

I paired it with one of my favorite sticks, the Flor de Copan Monarcas from Honduras 👌🏻🇭🇳💨 this will make a great Saturday evening 😉🥃💨.

Here is my review of the Sazerac Rye:

Nose: Lemon zest and citrus followed by rye black pepper. Caramel, peaches, cinnamon and a hint of fresh pears.

Palate: Crème caramel up front, sweet fruit followed by a subtle rye spice with cinnamon and a hint of oak.

Finish: Medium, crisp and dry. Warm nutmeg and oak lingers a bit.

It’s quite a tasty rye whiskey, aged 6 years and 90 proof. It’s more commonly known as “Baby Saz”. I quite like it 🙂.

People used to ask me: “what’s your favorite rye?” and until now I didn’t really have an answer, as I don’t usually drink rye, so I used to answer “I don’t know, I’m not much of a rye guy” but now, I must say, “the Baby Saz is quite good” 😉

What’s in your glasses this evening? 😊

What rye whisky cocktails do you know and like with rye whiskey?

This will work great in a Manhattan as well, will post something on this soon, so stay tuned 😉

Cheers! 🥃✨🥃.

Andrei Muresan

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
