About Sazerac Rye
Sazerac Rye is a straight rye whiskey produced by Sazerac Company Inc., bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof), offering a bold, spicy profile ideal for the classic Sazerac cocktail. Though labeled as rye in tradition, it aligns with bourbon-style characteristics through its mash bill and production, making it special for its historical ties to New Orleans' iconic drink—originally cognac-based but switched to rye due to phylloxera shortages in the 1870s. What sets it apart is its robust spice, caramel sweetness, and versatility at an accessible $25.50 for 750ml, available in 750ml, 1000ml, and 1750ml sizes. It's perfect for cocktail enthusiasts, rye purists, and value seekers who want authentic Big Easy heritage without premium pricing. In its category, it punches above its weight compared to pricier ryes like Bulleit or Rittenhouse, delivering comparable boldness and cocktail prowess at half the cost, though less refined than high-end expressions like WhistlePig.

The finish lingers with warming pepper and baking spices, fading into dry oak and subtle smoke.
