Peychauds Barrel Aged Bitters

In 1793, wealthy plantation owners were forced to flee the island of San Domingo, salvaging what possessions they could. Many came to (what was then) the Spanish Louisiana city of New Orleans. Among the possessions of one Creole was a recipe for a compounding of a liquid tonic called bitters. His name was Antoine Amédée Peychaud and he was an apothecary. These bitters, good for what ailed one irrespective of malady, gave an added zest to potions of cognac brandy he served friends and others who came to his pharmacy. Today, Peychaud’s Bitters are produced according to the original recipe at Buffalo Trace Distillery.

This unique and limited offering of Barrel Aged Peychaud's Bitters embodies the rich history associated with Peychaud's Bitters and Rye Whiskey. Aged in Sazerac Rye Whiskey Barrels for 140 days, these Peychaud's Barrel Aged Bitters add a flavorful, spicy twist to any cocktail. Each drop has the same hints of oak, candied spice and vanilla that can be found in every sip of Sazerac Rye Whiskey.

Tasting Notes:

Taste is sweet with slight hints of cherry, clove, and nutmeg flavours on the nose.

Mixing Notes:

Peychaud's is an important element in the Sazerac® Cocktail and can also be used in The Manhattan, The Old-Fashioned and many other classic cocktails
