2018 Sazerac 18 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey (750ml)

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

The 2018 release of Buffalo Trace's Antique Collection, these releases are getting harder and harder to come across.

Claiming to have contributed to the making of this particular batch of Sazerac 18, famed whisky writer Jim Murray claims that it tastes the same as he remembers when working with Elmer T Lee.

Other reviews....
This elder rye shows fine craftsmanship, balancing touches of toasted-spice and floral aromas, with dried herbs, candied orange peel, and mature varnish notes. It's big on the palate, with heaps of molasses, creamy vanilla sweetness, and orange Creamsicle that lead to pleasing cedar and sandalwood oak, with zesty grapefruit notes. The medium finish is satisfying and well balanced.
