Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 18 years old

...Anyone in our group ordained to perform a renewal of vows?

I will be honored to fete the two of you, but I'm afraid I was an English major -- so all I'm good for is the renewal of vowels .

OUCH!

BYOBT?

How about assisting with the writing of the vows.
I see a virtual plethora of appropriate bourbon metaphors.
Aging, developing, marrying, distillation, unique flavor, commitment, on the rocks, straight, unfiltered, limited release, ferment, etc.
Who better than Tim to wax prosaic.

I see a sampler event developing

Something in the "We are gathered together in the sight of Barton's..." line, huh?
And what color is that there prosaic wax? Sure ain't that Elmer T. Lee stuff, from what I hear (especially from people trying to open it !).

"We are gathered together in the sight of Barton's..."

As its miasma fills the air...

I have been fortunate enough to find a few bottles of Sazerac 18 yr Rye, and loved every drop. I'm all out now and the local shops in central NY do not stock it, nor can it be readily special-ordered. Any suggestions as to a similar (and more available) product? Thanks!

Well, there's the 6 (really 7) year old Sazerac - quite worthy in its own right, even though its youth is evident. Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye is a lot closer in character to the Saz 18, though.

I haven't been disappointed by any rye I've tried - WT Rye and Rittenhouse BIB are also quite nice (but very different from the Sazeracs and from each other).
