Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old 2014 Release. Image courtesy Buffalo Trace. This 18-year-old Rye from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection has a nose full of nutmeg, tobacco, honey, and a touch of clove at first, with brown sugar and molasses notes that come out over time. The taste is spicy with chili powder, cinnamon, honey, caramel, and vanilla notes underneath. The finish is dry and medium-length with soft spices. (September, 2014)
