"Sazerac Rye Whiskey symbolizes the tradition and history of New Orleans dating back to the 1800s. Sazerac Rye Whiskey was used to make the original, first and only branded American cocktail: The Sazerac. Vanilla, clove, anise and pepper on the nose. Flavors of candied spices and citrus. Smooth finish with licorice and smoked pepper. Any crispier and the glass would shatter: hard as a diamond rye, but oh! so much more of a rare and valuable gem!" —producer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Deep amber copper color. Aromas of spice, butter roasted nuts, clay, and dried cherry follow through on a round, vibrant entry to a spicy, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with warm golden raisin and peach compote, creamy vanilla custard, and delicate licorice notes. Finishes with a lively, graphite, tree bark, pepper oil and toffee snap. A fun, invigorating rye to sip or mix in retro cocktails." —Beverage Testing Institute Double Gold, 2007 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold, San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2011, 2009, 2008) |
