Old Bottle of Sazerag

[srq4us]

I was given what appears to be a very old bottle of Sazerag. I believe it might be some sort of Rye?? Label says: Sazerag 1795 Acker,Merrall&Condit Chambers St., W. B'way &Warren St.
135, 137 & 139 West 42nd St. Sixth Avenue and Fiftyseventh St. New York
Contents 1 Pint 9 Fluid Oz.
1/5th Gallon
Never opened, cork and wrapping around cork in place.

Difficult to find info on web about this. Spelling is always corrected to read "Sazerac" (c at the end rather than a g, when I do a search.) Any recommendation on a liquor website or an idea of value, if any, would be appreciated.

The Sazerac is one of the oldest known cocktails, with its origins in pre-Civil War New Orleans, Louisiana. The original drink is based on a combination of Cognac and bitters created by Antoine Amédée Peychaud in the 1830s, and is reported to be the first cocktail ever invented in America. Since its creation, many different recipes have evolved for the drink, usually involving some combination of Cognac, rye whiskey, absinthe, pastis, Peychaud's Bitters, and Angostura bitters.


That being said Acker,Merrall&Condit are known as the oldest wine shop in America
