Sometimes called "Baby Saz" (a nod to its older brother, Sazerac 18), this is a nickname that belies this rye's incredible flavour. Made to the same Buffalo Trace rye mashbill as Sazerac 18, of approximately 51% rye, 39% corn and 10% malt, this is a beautifully balanced, sweet and spicy whiskey.

Details
Sazerac Whiskey comes from the Buffalo Trace stable and is named for the famous Sazerac Coffee House in New Orleans, said to be the birthplace of the Sazerac cocktail. This drink is thought to be the original American cocktail.
The Sazerac cocktail was initially made with Cognac, but a blight on French grapes in the late 19th Century meant bartenders looked closer to home when mixing up this famous libation. They reached for rye – then America's most popular whiskey – to bridge the gap.
This is a fitting tribute to the Sazerac legacy. Incidentally, the bartender credited with first recording the cocktail is Thomas H. Handy, now honoured with his own rye whiskey from Buffalo Trace.
