From New Orleans Roots to Global Whiskey Royalty
Long before Kentucky bourbon became a global phenomenon, a bold, aromatic cocktail called the Sazerac was born in 19th-century New Orleans. That drink gave rise to a company that would grow into one of the most influential spirits producers in the world — The Sazerac Company.
Today, Sazerac is the family-owned powerhouse behind legendary American whiskey brands like Buffalo Trace, 1792, Eagle Rare, W.L. Weller, Blanton’s, Sazerac Rye, Pappy Van Winkle, Bowman and many more. Yet despite its size and success, Sazerac still operates with the heart and focus of a family distiller — patient, independent, and deeply rooted in tradition.
A Brief History of Sazerac
The story begins in New Orleans in the 1850s, where the original Sazerac Coffee House served a new kind of cocktail — a blend of rye whiskey, bitters, and sugar, stirred over ice and finished with a dash of absinthe. The drink became so famous that it inspired a company to produce its key ingredient: Sazerac Rye Whiskey.
Over the next century, the Sazerac Company expanded northward, acquiring distilleries, brands, and warehouses that would define the American whiskey renaissance. Its crown jewel acquisition came in 1992, when Sazerac purchased the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky — unlocking a portfolio that would reshape global bourbon.
