Sazerac Rye 100 Proof Straight Rye Whiskey - 1Ltr

Description

Produced in Frankfort, Kentucky, this rye brings a bold and structured character to your glass. Bottled at 50% ABV, it stands out with a more intense profile than typical 90-proof options. You’ll notice a heavier, oilier mouthfeel that carries rich layers of flavor through the mid-palate, making each sip feel substantial.

Its roots trace back to New Orleans, inspired by the historic Sazerac Coffee House, the birthplace of the first “Sazerac” cocktail. The “Kentucky-style” low-rye mash bill—at least 51% rye with plenty of corn—creates a balance between spicy rye and sweet bourbon. Aging in charred American oak barrels adds warmth and complexity, delivering clove, vanilla, anise, and black pepper on the nose, with candied spices, citrus zest, and burnt caramel on the palate.

This straight rye shines in cocktails. Its 100-proof strength holds up to dilution in a Sazerac, Manhattan, or Old Fashioned without losing character. The long, peppery finish with hints of licorice and dry oak lingers, showing off its historical significance as the spirit behind America’s first branded cocktail.

Packaged in a generous 1-liter bottle, it’s perfect for home mixologists or high-volume bars seeking a versatile, high-value rye with depth and heritage.
