{"product_id":"sazerac-rye-6-year-old-whiskey-70cl","title":"Sazerac Rye 6 Year Old – 70cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eSazerac Rye takes its name from the New Orleans cocktail it was born to make — arguably the oldest cocktail in America — and it is distilled at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky. Six years in charred oak give it enough age to sip, and enough backbone to define a drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRye is the spicy, peppery counterpoint to bourbon's sweetness, and this is a textbook example. The brand carries deep New Orleans heritage, but the liquid is made in Frankfort, Kentucky, matured in new charred American oak in the same warehouses that produce Buffalo Trace's celebrated bourbons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is bright and lifted — orange zest, freshly ground black pepper and mixed citrus peel. The palate is thick and properly spicy, with Seville orange marmalade and allspice up front, then peanut butter, toffee and barrel char building underneath. It finishes oily and spicy, with the rye pepper hanging on. There is a lot of flavour packed in here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt around £40 this is one of the more sought-after ryes to reach the UK, and it earns its keep both ways — sipped slowly or built into the cocktail it is named for. If you have only ever drunk bourbon, this is the eye-opener. Well worth knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeat, to appreciate the spice, or in the Sazerac itself — rinse the glass with absinthe, stir with Peychaud's bitters and sugar. A drop of water tames the oily heat if you want it gentler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe American Bar at The Savoy for a Sazerac made by people who care. Black Rock in Shoreditch for a rye-led flight. Swift in Soho for a classic build after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeppered, cured meats — a good bresaola or salami — play straight into the rye spice. Dark rye bread with sharp cheese is the low-key alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56925273784644,"sku":"HO32304CNV","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO32304CNV.png?v=1784037566","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/sazerac-rye-6-year-old-whiskey-70cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
