Sazerac Straight Rye
If you're a fan of straight rye whiskey, then you'll want to check out Sazerac Straight Rye. This delicious whiskey is made with rye grain and distilled in Kentucky. It's then aged for a minimum of two years in new, charred oak barrels.
Sazerac Straight Rye 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 Originally, he sold bottles of the Sazerac cocktail, which was originally made with Cognac.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.

Sweet with spices and stem ginger in syrup. Orange zest, freshly ground black pepper and mixed peels.
Palate
Thick, spicy palate with notes of Seville orange marmalade and allspice. Peanut butter, toffee and barrel char develop later on.

An oily, spicy finish.
