The story

The story behind Seagram's

Seagram's story starts in Waterloo, Ontario, where William Hespeler and George Randall opened a distillery in 1857. Joseph E. Seagram bought in during 1870 and owned the whole thing by 1883. Samuel Bronfman's Distillers Corporation acquired the company in 1928 and moved the headquarters to Montreal, which is how a small Ontario mill became a name on every back bar in America.

The house style is the reason we still sell it. Corn, rye and barley are distilled separately on continuous column stills, aged in oak on their own schedules, then married at the end. That last blend is what keeps the rye snap consistent bottle to bottle, year to year. We have poured Seagram's for more than three decades on Jericho Turnpike, and the regulars know exactly what they are getting.

Seagram's cocktails and pairings

Rye wants fat and salt, not sugar. Serve V.O. neat beside cured meat, or build it long with ginger and lime.
