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 2008 From the original run of Cream of Kentucky rye distilled in 1985 & tanked in 2003 to prevent it from over-maturing, by then actually a 20 year old.

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…

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.
