Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Powerful and aromatic. It leads with dark caramel and toasted rye bread, followed by allspice, hot honey, and seared orange peel.
- Palate: Bold and mouth-coating. Expect an initial wave of vanilla and orange creamsicle that quickly shifts into high-heat spices like cinnamon Red Hots, black pepper, and clove.
- Finish: Long, warm, and drying. It leaves a tingling trail of fresh mint, licorice, and charred oak, with a lingering herbal complexity.
Food Pairings
- Savory: Cajun Low Country Boil. The herbal notes of anise and mint in the rye are a traditional match for the spicy, savory flavors of a New Orleans-style shrimp or crawfish boil.
- Cheese: Aged Clothbound Cheddar. The 125-proof heat requires a high-fat, sharp cheese to bridge the gap between the whiskey's sweetness and its spicy finish.
- Sweet: Dark Chocolate Tart. The bitterness of the chocolate tames the alcohol "burn" while highlighting the rye's notes of dark fruit and spice.
- The "Science" Pairing: The Ultimate Sazerac Cocktail. Because of its 62.5% ABV, it makes arguably the best version of its namesake cocktail ever produced, as the whiskey remains the undisputed star even after dilution.
About the brand
The brand is named after the Sazerac Coffee House on Royal Street in New Orleans, where the "Sazerac" (America's first branded cocktail) was born in the 1850s.
