Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey 750mL is a classic, award-winning rye that embodies the heritage and craftsmanship of Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Known as “the whiskey that started it all,” this iconic spirit traces its roots to 19th-century New Orleans, where it was the key ingredient in the first Sazerac Cocktail.

Made from a high-rye mash bill and aged in new charred American oak barrels, Sazerac Rye delivers a rich, spicy profile with refined smoothness. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it balances bold rye spice with sweet notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak — making it as perfect for sipping neat as it is for elevating cocktails like the Sazerac, Old Fashioned, or Manhattan.
