This is the 2025 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.
Distilled in the Spring of 2006 & 2007, aged in warehouses O, K and L on floors 2 and 3 for 18 years and 5 months before being bottled at 90 proof. 77% of the original whiskey lost to evaporation.
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.
