BTEC 19 and 23 yo French Oak Aged Bourbons

[sku]

This sounds pretty interesting to me. At a time when aged bourbon is getting harder to come by, BT is sending out a 19 and a 23 year old, and made from the high rye mash which hasn't ever had anything that old out there as far as I recall. I'm game.

I'll probably have to give these a try. BTEC = Lighter wallet.

Agreed. The opportunity to try an extra aged BT high rye mashbill will be too much for me to pass up ... If I can find one of either release. Wonder how much they made.

As much as I hate to admit it, I will probably bite on one of these.

I have only purchased 3 BTEC bottles, but this has my attention,I am very curious to see the influence of a larger cask on these whiskies I am expecting a lot of complexity with less wood influence than you may expect.

IIRC, Sazerac bought AA in 1992. If that is correct, was the 23 yo experiment begun by the pre-BT AA? Or by Sazerac at a different location?
