From the legendary home of Kentucky straight rye comes the Sazerac 18 Year Fall 2025, a rare expression shaped by nearly two decades of patient aging. Distilled in Kentucky and bottled at 90 proof, it carries the depth and refinement expected from one of the oldest releases in the Antique Collection. Its long rest in oak brings forward aromas of warm spice, eucalyptus, and subtle mint before unfolding into rich layers of molasses, leather, oak, and soft vanilla.
Crafted from a traditional Kentucky rye grain recipe, this 18-year rye is known for its bold yet balanced character, offering a steady rise of spice matched with earthy herbaceous tones. The palate holds a seamless blend of oak and leather that builds toward a lingering finish marked by rye spice, caraway seed, and warm wood. Enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, it’s a contemplative pour that honors the heritage of both the spirit and the classic New Orleans cocktail that shares its name.
