About This Whiskey
Named after the New Orleans cocktail, Sazerac Rye is the straight rye made at Buffalo Trace for the Sazerac Company.
The brand was relaunched in 2006 in a bottle modelled on an 1880s original.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Clove, vanilla, anise and pepper.
- Palate: Candied spice and citrus over apricot, orange peel and caramel.
- Finish: Smooth and fairly long, with liquorice and a last flash of rye spice.
Serving & Food
Make it the way New Orleans does: rinse a chilled glass with absinthe or Herbsaint, stir the rye with a sugar cube and Peychaud's Bitters over ice, strain, and twist lemon peel over the top.
Good to Know
Why 'Baby Saz'? It shares its recipe and strength with Sazerac 18.
What food suits it? Neat, it goes well with gumbo, pâté or ginger biscuits.

About the Distillery
In 1850 Aaron Bird renamed his New Orleans bar the Sazerac Coffee House after the Sazerac de Forge et Fils cognac it poured, and the house drink, cognac with Peychaud's Bitters, took the same name.
