Sazerac 18-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey (2023 Release)

This is the 2023 release of Sazerac 18-Year-Old Rye, a key component of the annual Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. This whiskey is one of the oldest American rye expressions available.

The barrels for this specific release were filled between the fall of 2004 and the spring of 2005. They were subsequently aged in Warehouses K, L, and M at the Buffalo Trace Distillery before being selected for this batch. The final product is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).

The Sazerac name originates from the Sazerac Coffee House in New Orleans, credited with popularizing the Sazerac cocktail in the 1800s. This bottling is a tribute to that history.
