Sazerac Rye traces its roots to the saloons and coffee houses of 1800s New Orleansincluding the iconic Sazerac Coffee House on Royal Street, where the Sazerac cocktail was born. Buffalo Trace produces it today using a low-rye mashbill (corn-leaning by rye standards), which softens the grain assertiveness and brings out the brands signature sweet-spice balance.
