One of the 2 Rye's from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, this 18 year old is often overshadowed by the bourbons of the collection, Eagle Rare 17, William Larue Weller and George T. Stagg. While not as intense and complex as it's bourbon companions, it's still a damn fine whiskey and will be enjoyed by anyone lucky enough to come across a bottle of it.

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"The nose finds rye, oak, orange, and pickle brine. A leathery palate of cinnamon, orange, crisp sugars and a rather oily mouthfeel. The finish is very, very long, with crisp sugar, clove, leather and tobacco."
