Sazerac 18-Year-Old Rye – Fall 2023 Release – 45% ABV (90 Proof)
Experience one of the oldest and most American rye whiskeys with Sazerac 18-Year-Old (Fall 2023), a flagship release from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Bottled at 90 proof, this ultra-aged rye delivers refined complexity, elegant balance, and a mature oak-driven profile shaped by nearly two decades in barrel.
Aged for approximately 18 years, this expression is crafted from barrels filled between 2004 and 2005 and matured in carefully selected warehouses. The extended aging brings forward deep oak influence while preserving classic rye spice, resulting in a whiskey that is both sophisticated and approachable.
