About Sazerac Rye
Buffalo Trace's award-winning Sazerac brand is a tribute to the Sazerac Coffee House (at the time, the term "coffee house" was used to refer to a cocktail bar) and the role it played in replacing brandy with rye whiskey in the cocktail of the same name.
As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin. It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.
By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.
The nose is bold with peppery spice, butterscotch, vanilla, and baking spice aromas. The palate has a balance of sweetness and spice with caramel, chocolate, tobacco, and cinnamon notes. The notes linger pleasantly on the finish.
