Sazerac Rye Whiskey

Sazerac Rye Whiskey is a historic American spirit deeply rooted in the culture of New Orleans. The brand's history dates back to the 19th century and is directly linked to the 'Sazerac Coffee House' in New Orleans, where what is often considered the first American cocktail—the Sazerac—was originally created using cognac and later rye whiskey.

Today, the whiskey is produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This distillery is a world-renowned facility famous for its high-quality bourbon and rye outputs. The production process adheres to strict standards for rye whiskey, ensuring a consistent and traditional flavor profile that features the spiciness and complexity typical of the category.

The Sazerac brand is owned by the Sazerac Company, one of the largest and most successful privately held spirits companies in the world. Based in Metairie, Louisiana, and with executive offices in Louisville, Kentucky, the company maintains a diverse portfolio of international brands while keeping its historic ties to the United States whiskey industry.
