In this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks, we pour a glass of one of America’s most historic rye whiskeys — Sazerac Rye Straight Rye Whiskey — and find out why this New Orleans legend continues to earn a place on both home bars and cocktail menus everywhere.

Known as the whiskey behind America’s first branded cocktail, Sazerac Rye carries over a century of tradition while delivering a modern, approachable rye experience. Distilled at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this 90-proof straight rye balances classic spice with surprising smoothness, making it equally at home neat, on the rocks, or in a proper Sazerac cocktail.

We break down everything you want to know:

🥃 Nose: Clove, vanilla, anise, and pepper with subtle citrus brightness
🥃 Palate: Candied spice, gentle rye kick, and a bourbon-friendly sweetness
🥃 Finish: Smooth and lingering with hints of licorice and warm spice

Is this the perfect gateway rye for bourbon drinkers?
Does the legendary reputation match the everyday price point?
And where does “Baby Saz” land on the DadDimes value scale?

Pour yourself something neat and join us as we talk flavor, history, dad life, and whether this iconic rye deserves a permanent spot on your shelf.
