Sazerac Rye – The Original New Orleans Whiskey

Sazerac Rye Whiskey is a tribute to the rich tradition and history of New Orleans. This straight rye whiskey dates back to the 1800s, a time when saloons, disguised as coffee houses, lined the streets of New Orleans. It was at the Sazerac Coffee House on Royal Street where the famous “Sazerac” cocktail was born, made with rye whiskey and Peychaud’s Bitters. This whiskey is the cornerstone of America’s first branded cocktail.

“Any crispier and the glass would shatter…a rare and valuable gem!” – Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, Rating: 94.5

“Versatile, crisp, and an ideal match for cocktails that also include orange liqueur, as well as its namesake classic cocktail. Light aromas include vanilla and a touch of juicy citrus. Flavors run to bitter orange, dark chocolate, and black tea, finishing with a pepper tingle. Velvety feel, despite the brisk alcohol. Best Buy.” – Wine Enthusiast, Rating: 95 points
