Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 6 Year Old
In stock
The one and only New Orleans original, Sazerac Rye symbolizes the culture and history of the Big Easy. In the 19th century, industrious farmers and distillers in the heartland of the United States barreled and shipped their rye whiskeys down the great Mississippi River to the bustling, growing city of New Orleans. These spicy and assertive spirits fueled the whiskey culture of New Orleans and established the first American cocktail, The Sazerac.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery-bronze sheen and a warm, reddish-gold glow.
Nose
Bold rye spice leads the nose: peppery and lively, with cinnamon and clove facets weaving through vanilla, caramel and toasted oak. A citrus zest lift and hints of leather complete a layered, warm bouquet evocative of a New Orleans night.
Palate
Bold and spicy on the palate, with a rye-forward bite of black pepper, cinnamon and clove. Rich vanilla and caramel sweetness weave through toasted oak, while orange zest adds lift. The 6-year maturity yields a smooth, assertive mouthfeel with a dry, peppery finish that lingers.
Finish
Long, warming finish of rye spice and toasted oak, slowly unfolding into cinnamon, clove and vanilla. Subtle citrus zest echoes its New Orleans roots, finishing dry with a refined, lingering peppery bite.
