    ChiTucky Bourbon Brothers take a deep dive into the newest release of Buffalo Trace's legendary Sazerac 18 Rye Whiskey, a cornerstone of their coveted Antique Collection. After years of mixed reviews, this 2024 expression marks a triumphant return to form that has whiskey enthusiasts buzzing with excitement.

    We explore the fascinating history behind this elusive spirit, from competing origin stories to the transition from steel tank aging to traditional barrel maturation. Despite its modest 90 proof bottling strength, Sazerac 18 delivers remarkable complexity without overwhelming the palate. The nose offers inviting aromas of cherry lozenges, leather, and oak without any harsh alcohol burn, while the taste reveals a perfectly balanced symphony of subtle rye spice, cinnamon, and vanilla that drinks more like a high-quality bourbon than a typical spicy rye.

    Whether you're a dedicated whiskey collector or simply appreciate the artistry behind America's finest spirits, this Sazerac 18 deserves a place in your tasting journey.
