Whiskey or Whisky

What's in a name? Sazerac Straight Rye whiskey is called whiskey because it's produced in America. Were it from Scotland it would be spelled Sazerac Straight Rye whisky, rather than whiskey.

Sazerac Straight Rye Bottling Note

The whiskey is named for the Sazerac Coffee House in New Orleans, birthplace of the famous – and sublime – Sazerac cocktail. The Coffee House was acquired by Thomas H Handy, owner also of Peychaud’s Bitters. Originally, he sold bottles of the Sazerac cocktail, which was originally made with Cognac. Today, this glorious libation is produced at the Buffalo Trace distillery.

Sazerac Straight Rye Tasting Note

A sweet, balanced nose with allspice and ginger, orange peels and pepper. The palate is thick and mouthwatering with syrupy notes of over ripe Seville oranges and ground spices, beautiful delivery. The finish is of medium-length with tingling sweet spices.
