This rare vintage 1991 18 years old Sazerac Double Destilled Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Fall of 2009 is the 10th release and one of only 4.929 bottles of the limited Buffalo Trace Antique Collection 2009 from the prestigious Buffalo Trace Distillery, the world-renowned whiskey brands such as Pappy Van Winkle, George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Eagle Rare, Taylor Jr and Thomas H. Handy Sazerac produced. With the Sazerac 18 Years Straight Rye Whiskey Spring of 1991, Buffalo Trace created a very intense and complex dark chestnut colored rye whisky and shows the special art of the American whiskey handwork.
The famed Sazerac Coffee House was founded in 1850 on Exchange Alley in New Orleans, Louisiana and soon gained fame as the home of America's First Cocktail known as the Sazerac. Using rye whiskey in place of the French brandy, a dash of Peychaud Bitters, and Herbsaint, what eventually became the official cocktail of New Orleans was created. This straight rye has a mellow spice and dry sweetness that dances on the tongue, giving pure delight that is worthy of the Sazerac name.
This is the annual special release of straight Rye whiskey from the legendary Buffalo Trace distillery. Very mature, with notes of oak, leather molasses and all-spice, this is a must for Rye fans. Changes a little from batch to batch but always stunning. This rare 2009 release is one of the more immense expressions, filled at 135 proof back in 1991, but after years of aging the whiskey is now 125 proof. The glass bottle chosen for Sazerac 18 Year old is designed to showcase the whiskeys dark and rich color. The back label provides a full product story and describtion. Every case has been hand bottled and labeled to ensure the highest quality finish. This is an amazing, truly unique whiskey. There is no rye whiskey on the market that is as old or perfectly balanced as this one. For all who can't get enough flavors and intensity in your whiskey, your search has ended. This annual award-winning rye whiskey has a rich and spicy nose with notes of toasted rye bread, molasses, cinnamon, and a touch of smoke. The taste is intense with a strong cinnamon note that lingers well with good underlying sweetness from molasses and brown sugar notes. The finish is long, spicy, and smooth.
