Sazerac 18 Year Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 2023

The Sazerac 18-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 2023 release is an exceptional expression that showcases the depth and complexity of aged rye whiskey. With a rich aroma of dried orange, rye grain, clove, and aniseed, this release offers a distinctive nose that prepares the palate for its bold and layered flavors. On the palate, you’ll experience the warmth of black pepper, the smoothness of vanilla, and the richness of oak. The finish is equally impressive, with lingering notes of florally honey and tobacco leaf, making for a truly refined drinking experience.

This rare and highly sought-after whiskey was crafted from a collection of rye whiskey barrels filled between fall 2004 and spring 2005, then aged in Warehouses K, L, and M at Buffalo Trace Distillery. The previous release of Sazerac Rye 18 earned the prestigious Gold Medal at the 2023 American Whiskey Masters, solidifying its place as a standout rye whiskey in the industry.
