The previous edition of Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old was named Best Rye Whiskey Aged 11 Years and Over by Jim Murrays Whisky Bible. This 2019 straight rye whiskey release has notable flavors of vanilla and maple syrup, with a finish of black pepper and spearmint. The barrels for this whiskey were filled in the spring of 2001 and it rested on the second floor of Warehouses K and L. The Antique Collection was introduced more than a decade ago and has become a cult favorite among whiskey connoisseurs. Since 2000 these whiskeys have garnered numerous awards from such notable publications as Whisky Advocate Magazine, Spirit Journal, and Jim Murrays Whisky Bible. The 2019 Antique Collection whiskeys will be available in limited quantities starting in late September or early October.
