“Sazerac has long been regarded as one of America’s oldest family owned, privately held distillers. It is best known for its ownership of the historic Buffalo Trace distillery in Kentucky, which it purchased in 1992 at a point when the distillery was a shell of what it is today. The heart of the company’s history, however, is in New Orleans, Louisiana, where its namesake cocktail, the Sazerac, was introduced as the first “branded” cocktail in 1850. It is also here that Sazerac is now upping its consumer facing presence with the recent opening of the Sazerac House.”
