Sazerac Rye Whiskey symbolizes the tradition and history of New Orleans. Rye Whiskey dates back to the 1800s, around the time when saloons, veiled as Coffee Houses, began lining the streets of New Orleans. It was at the Sazerac Coffee House on Royal Street where local patrons were served toddies made with Rye Whiskey and Peychaud’s Bitters.
Aroma: The fragrance is of clove, sweet vanilla, anise and pepper.
Taste: The taste has subtle notes of candies, spice and crisp citrus.
Finish: The big finish is smooth with hints of licorice.
Food Pairings: The great thing about Sazerac Rye is that it works seamlessly with a Low Country boil or barbecue. Try a Sazerac Cocktail with smoked salmon and bitter cheeses.
