Sazerac

The Sazerac brand traces its roots to the French Cognac tradition and the coffee house scene of New Orleans: the name comes from the cognac Sazerac de Forge et Fils, used in the cocktail that later took the same name. In the 19th century the drink and the venue became popular in New Orleans; over the 20th century the business evolved and was reorganized into the corporate forms known today. The Sazerac Company has grown through acquisitions and the management of multiple distilleries and brands, maintaining a marked link to the heritage of the Sazerac cocktail and the city of New Orleans.
