AboutSazerac Company
Sazerac Company’s story reaches from a French Cognac family to nineteenth-century New Orleans, where the Sazerac name became attached to a coffee house and, eventually, the city’s celebrated cocktail. Facing Prohibition, Thomas Handy and Company reincorporated as Sazerac Company in 1919 and returned to the drinks business after repeal in 1933. In 1992, the company acquired the George T Stagg Distillery in Kentucky, which was renamed Buffalo Trace in 1999.
Today the company has distilleries in the United States, Canada and Europe, and a range that includes whisky, liqueurs and other spirits. Its Old Montreal Distillery joined the group in 2011, and Canadian whisky distillation returned there in 2018 after an absence of decades.
Ryan’s Original Irish Style Cream Liqueur 375 mL
Canadian Liqueur
$16.99
Fresh dairy cream gives a rich, inviting aroma, with milk chocolate, vanilla and gentle whiskey warmth underneath. The palate is smooth and rounded, balancing creamy sweetness with cocoa depth and a quiet oak-spice note. Its texture is plush without feeling cloying, and the flavours remain clean through the middle. The finish is soft, warming and lightly chocolatey. Serve chilled, over ice, in coffee, or as an after-dinner cocktail ingredient.
Rich & Rare Reserve Canadian Whisky
Canadian Whisky
$48.99
Taffy and vanilla lead a sweet aroma, followed by a richer palate with port-like fruit and light cocoa. Smooth and spicy elements meet through the middle, while a clean finish brings a firmer grip. The profile stays approachable and direct, with sweetness, vanilla, fruit and cocoa carrying most of the flavour and a measured touch of spice keeping the close composed.
High River Canadian Whisky
Canadian Whisky
$52.99
Crème caramel, almond and dried fruit lead, joined by smoky charred oak, vanilla and brown sugar. The palate is nicely structured, bringing sweet corn, caramel and spice alongside a thread of golden syrup. Cocoa and cinnamon appear toward the close, while the long finish stays harmonious. Bold flavour and measured sweetness remain balanced by oak and warming spice.
Caribou Crossing Single Barrel Canadian Whisky
Canadian Whisky
$124.99
Light vanilla and caramel open with cinnamon, baked cookie and a faint fruit-cobbler note. The palate is smooth and airy, bringing gentle sweetness into balance with clean oak, soft grain and touches of orange and apple skin. The texture remains delicate rather than forceful. The finish is concise and mellow, leaving vanilla, cedar, melted marshmallow and a final trace of warm spice.
