The Story
Uncut. Unfiltered. 18 years. The 2024 annual release of Sazerac Rye 18 Year — the most recent vintage of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection's straight rye expression and part of the complete 2024 BTAC annual release available at Wooden Cork.
Sazerac Rye 18 Year is the rye expression of the BTAC — released annually in extremely limited fall allocation, uncut and unfiltered. At 18 years, the rye's natural assertiveness has been fully tempered into something simultaneously bold and elegant. The 2024 is the most recent vintage, making it the most currently available BTAC Sazerac 18 Year while still strictly limited.
