Description

The Sazerac 18 Year Old Rye is a Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey released as part of the highly anticipated 2013 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Distilled in the spring of 1985, this whiskey matured for 18 years in new charred American oak barrels before being moved to stainless steel tanks in 2003 to halt further aging. It was then drawn from these tanks and bottled in Fall 2013 at 45% ABV (90 proof). This release is celebrated for its refined and complex flavor profile, making it a coveted choice for connoisseurs.
