Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old, 2025 Release is one of the oldest American rye whiskeys available, part of the highly allocated Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Distilled in spring 2006 and 2007, it aged 18 years and 5 months in warehouses O, K, and L before bottling. During that long rest, roughly 77% of the original whiskey was lost to evaporation, concentrating what remains into a spirit of real intensity. Bottled at the traditional 90 proof (45% ABV).

Born From New Orleans' First Cocktail

The famed Sazerac Coffee House was founded in 1850 on Exchange Alley in New Orleans and soon gained fame as the home of "America's First Cocktail," the Sazerac. Using rye whiskey in place of the French brandy, a dash of Peychaud's Bitters, and Herbsaint, what became the official cocktail of New Orleans was born, and this rye carries that name forward.

Part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection

Released once a year alongside icons like Eagle Rare 17 and George T. Stagg, the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection highlights barrels selected for how gracefully they've aged well past a standard release. At 18 years and 5 months, the 2025 Sazerac Rye is a true rarity, since very few straight ryes carry an age statement anywhere close to this one.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: bright rye spice, seasoned oak, and a subtle herbaceous lift.
  • Palate: mature spice and oak, layered with woody richness and supple leather.
  • Finish: lingering rye spice, warm leather, caraway seed, and enduring oak.

How to Enjoy It

Sip it neat to take in its full, concentrated maturity, or add a drop of water to open up the mint and citrus notes further.
