DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Sazerac Rye: The Whiskey Behind America's First Cocktail
Sazerac Rye is produced by the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky for Sazerac Co. of New Orleans, a company trading since 1850. Kentucky straight rye whiskey at 90 proof (45% ABV).
This is the bottle the Sazerac cocktail is named after, and that drink has a decent claim to being the first cocktail ever made in America. New Orleans, Peychaud's bitters, an absinthe rinse. If you have only ever had a Sazerac made with something else, this is what it was supposed to taste like.
On the age statement. You will see this bottle sold everywhere as Sazerac 6 Year, and for years that was roughly accurate. The current label carries no age statement, and neither does the bottle we have in hand. Sazerac has not published a replacement figure. We would rather tell you that than print a number the bottle does not carry.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Orange zest, clove and raisin with rye spice and anise underneath.
- Palate: Fruit forward and unusually so for a rye. Apricot, orange peel and plum over caramel and vanilla, with light barrel char and black licorice developing.
- Finish: The rye spice bursts and then steps back, leaving dark fruit, caramel and black pepper. Medium length.
How to Enjoy
- A Sazerac, from the bottle's own recipe: 1.5 oz Sazerac Rye, one sugar cube, three dashes Peychaud's Bitters, .25 oz Herbsaint, lemon peel.
- Neat: at 90 proof it is a genuinely easy sipping rye, more fruit than heat.
- Manhattan or Old Fashioned: this is the workhorse rye those drinks were built on.
- Beside our Barrel #026: we hand selected a single barrel of this same whiskey. Pouring them side by side is the clearest lesson in what single barrel actually means.
