History,
THE SAZERAC WAS BORN IN THE FRENCH QUARTER AT A TIME WHEN SALOONS, VEILED AS COFFEE HOUSES, LINED THE STREETS OF NEW ORLEANS. AT THE FAMED SAZERAC COFFEE HOUSE, THE DRINK OF CHOICE BECAME A LIBATION OF RYE WHISKEY, ABSINTHE AND BITTERS AND WITH THAT, THE FIRST BRANDED COCKTAIL, THE SAZERAC, WAS BORN. OUR SAZERAC RYE CARRIES THE UNRESTRAINED TASTE AND CHARACTER OF NEW ORLEANS.
The one and only New Orleans original, Sazerac Rye symbolizes the culture and history of the Big Easy. In the 19th century, industrious farmers and distillers in the heartland of the United States barreled and shipped their rye whiskeys down the great Mississippi River to the bustling, growing city of New Orleans. These spicy and assertive spirits fueled the whiskey culture of New Orleans and established the first American cocktail, The Sazerac.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: orange zest, clove, and raisin greet the senses, with hints of rye spice and anise
Palate: sweet apricots, orange peel, and plums meet more traditional notes of caramel and vanilla.
Finish: Rye spice bursts forth. A light black licorice note follows, but is quickly overtaken by a spicy-sweet blend of dark fruit, caramel, and black pepper. It’s medium-length and invites you back for more.
