The story behind it

The maker

The Sazerac Company was established in New Orleans, Louisiana, following the purchase of the Sazerac Coffee House by Thomas H. Handy in 1869. Today, the brand is synonymous with the official cocktail of New Orleans and is produced at the award-winning Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky.

How it is made

Distilled at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, this rye whiskey symbolizes the rich spirits tradition of New Orleans. Its legacy dates back to the 1800s, when the original Sazerac Coffee House began serving drinks crafted with rye whiskey instead of cognac.
