SazeracStraightRyeWhiskey75cl

The coffee house in New Orleans was known throughout Prohibition as the Sazerac Coffee House after a cocktail The Sazerac™, the first and only branded American cocktail. The drink was created by a Creole immigrant called Antoine Peychaud, who owned a pharmacy on the French Quarter’s Royal St. It was originally made with Cognac and Peychaud’s Bitters, however, as brandy became harder to import, the recipe switched to a Kentucky Rye Whiskey.

This straight rye whiskey has a mellow, amber colour which belies the strong, spicy initial flavour hit, which is softened with subtle aromas of caramel and vanilla.
