About Sazerac 18 Year Old 2022 Antique Collection Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
Each year, the annual Buffalo Trace Antique Collection features some of the most highly anticipated releases for countless whiskey lovers. The Sazerac Rye 18 Year-Old is among these annually-released whiskeys.
The expression pays tribute to the Sazerac Coffee House in New Orleans, credited with creating “America’s First Cocktail” ― the Sazerac. It’s a wonderfully mature and complex expression and the 2022 release is no exception.
It was distilled in 2003 and 2004 from Minnesota rye, Kentucky corn, and North Dakota malted barley. Then, it spent 18 years and 6 months patiently maturing in new American white oak (#4 char) casks in warehouses K, M, and P, before finally being bottled at 90 proof in 2022.
The 2022 release features a wonderfully zesty nose with molasses and a bold palate with black pepper, coriander, and maple syrup. The finish is equally complex with oak, mint, and tobacco.
