Sazerac 18 Year Old Rye Whiskey 2016 Very mature, with notes of oak, leather molasses and all-spice. The long, warm finish is preceded by notes of mint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, vanilla, and lingering pepper.
Eye: Maple Syrup. Nose: A nice pop of rye followed by butterscotch, baking spice, vanilla taffy, citrus and just a touch of dill. It’s a decent aroma all around and it was pleasant enough while sitting and sniffing it on the patio of Everyone Royce bar. Palate: Butterscotch, wood, rye spice, a buttery sweetness, a touch of fruit…

Sazerac 18 Year Old Rye Whiskey 2011 The Nose: Oh man…a rich, sweet, engrossingly complex nose with orange blossom honey, deep cinnamon, butterscotch, and warm soft rye bread. There’s a bit of that pickling spice earthiness I seem to get with rye whiskies, but it’s mellowed here by the wood, washed with spice and honey. There…

Nose: Huge and powerful sweet Rye on the initial nosing gives way to cinnamon toasted brioche, leather, and more than a hint of Maraschino cherry. A really huge hit of oak follows, somewhat vinous with it – we were reminded of a barrique aged chardonnay. There’s something slightly medicinal lurking somewhere – a hint of Iodine…
With 1984 being the final vintage for the “Cream of Kentucky” rye, the remaining casks were placed into steel tanks in 2004 to prevent it from over-maturing. This 2000 release was bottled directly from the wood. The tanked rye provided whiskey for this annual release until 2015 when it finally ran out.
Sazerac 18 Year Old Rye Whiskey 2013 Nose: Molasses is picked up, which then gives way to grassy, herbal notes of tobacco and mint. Palate: Peppermint hints continue on the palate, with rich vanilla and cinnamon. Yum. Finish: It’s a dry finish that lasts a good, long while. Overall: Another year, another brilliant Sazerac 18 Year Old.
Sazerac 18 Year Old Rye Whiskey 2012 Nose: Demerara sugar leading to tangerine zest and powerful spices including cardamom, clove and vanilla. Palate: The rye is fantastically dominant on the palate with notes of orange oils with pine resin and a big herbaceous quality. It’s like chewing on a satsuma in a Norwegian forest! Finish: The orange flavours…
