Taste
Sazerac 18 Year 2020 is a highly sought-after bourbon produced with tradition in mind. It is produced at the award-winning Buffalo Trace Distillery, like other great blends such as E.H. Taylor, William Larue, Blanton's, Elmer T. Lee, Buffalo Trace, and George T. Stagg. It is smooth and elegant with vibrant notes of peppermint and menthol mingled with classic rye spice. The palate then brings semi-sweet Baker's chocolate to the table, along with tannic oak, pine needles, cinnamon, and cloves. The finish is fairly quick, with cedar, black pepper, and vanilla, with a closing of peppermint.

Vincent Miret was a bartender and co-owner at the Sazerac House and had a reputation for being the best mixer of cocktails in the city of New Orleans. The recipe was initially a blend of brandy, sugar, and bitters, but in 1885 the brandy was swapped out for Rye Whisky. It is mentioned that somewhere between 1895 and 1899, Thomas H. Handy the owner of Sazerac House sold 6 bottled cocktails however there isn't any mention of a Sazerac until 1901. In 1919 Thomas H.

They launched a bar, and lunchroom, and even opened a manufacturing and bottling facility in New Orleans. The recipe was renewed bottled and sold exclusively at the Sazerac Bar successfully until 1949.
