The soul of New Orleans in a bottle, this rye launched America’s first cocktail.
A Cultural Landmark
Before there was the Old Fashioned, before the Martini had its moment, there was the Sazerac. At the heart of that drink was this rye. Crafted at the famed Buffalo Trace Distillery, it walks a beautiful line between history and harmony. The nose offers soft vanilla, candied spice, and dried orange peel. On the palate, it’s all grace and balance, with clean rye spice like black pepper and mint.
At 90 proof, it's in the sweet spot for sipping or mixing. Made from a rumored low-rye mash bill and aged around 6 years, it delivers subtle complexity and approachability, making it a bartender’s best friend.
How to Enjoy
Essential for crafting the namesake Sazerac cocktail. Also shines in a Manhattan or enjoyed neat.
