About
The Sazerac Company, founded in the early 1800s, is a leading American producer of spirits that has consistently delivered innovative products and compelling experiences. The company's legacy traces its roots back to the Cognac region of France, where the Sazerac family established their vineyards and distilleries in the 1630s. The company transitioned to the United States over the years, embracing the rich traditions of cocktail culture, particularly in New Orleans, where the iconic Sazerac cocktail was born. This historical backdrop reflects a deep commitment to quality and tradition that persists in the company’s ethos today. Now home to an expansive portfolio of over 450 brands including revered names like Buffalo Trace, Sazerac Rye, and E.H. Taylor, the Sazerac Company stands at the forefront of the global spirits industry.
