Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old Kentucky Straight Rye – 2026 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection

750mL

Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old Kentucky Straight Rye – 2026 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection Sazerac 18 Year Old is the oldest rye in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. It is distilled at Buffalo Trace and aged for more than 18 years. The whiskey takes its name from the Sazerac, the New Orleans rye cocktail often called one of the first true American cocktails. It is the only Antique Collection whiskey that is not bottled at barrel strength, which gives this very old rye a mellow, elegant character. This listing is for the upcoming 2026 release. Buffalo Trace has not yet announced the official 2026 details. Tasting Notes (House profile from Buffalo Trace's published notes. Official 2026 notes have not yet been released.) • Nose: Bright rye spice and seasoned oak. • Palate: Very mature, with oak, leather, molasses and allspice. • Finish: Long and warm, with mint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, vanilla and lingering black pepper. Product Details • Distillery: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky • Style: Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey • Age: 18 years • Size: 750ml • Availability: Upcoming 2026 Antique Collection release. Coming soon, very limited allocation. Why It Stands Out Very few American ryes reach 18 years of age. This one has earned five stars from Whisky Advocate and 95 points from F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal, along with many competition medals. Its long aging and gentle proof set it apart from the barrel-strength whiskeys in the collection. Serving Suggestions Sip it neat to enjoy the layers of spice and old oak. Stop by Bansum Wine & Liquor in Patchogue or order online for shipping.
