Product description
One of the most famous rye whiskeys in the world.
Sazerac Rye, valued by consumers and the industry, symbolizes the culture and history of 19th-century New Orleans. It was during this period that distillers living in the heart of the United States transported their rye whiskey down the great Mississippi River to the vibrant, growing city of New Orleans. This distinctively flavored type of alcohol was an integral part of the formation of American whiskey culture.
History
