Sazerac 18 Year Rye - Prototype Barrel Proof

[luther.r]

Finally, what I really want to know is if there are any plans to make this a real product offering?

Highly doubtful unless they have too much stock at some point in the future. The Saz 18 is flying off the shelves at its current proof and pricepoint.

A few of questions I have:

Is this the tanked Saz18 @ a higher proof (same as current BTAC) or is it new rye that BT has been sitting on for the past 18yrs?

If the latter, is it just older BabySaz/THH or something else?

It isn't anything new. It's just a whiskey writer drinking from a bottle he has had for a long time.

Probably the one they were talking about here and here.

Great recon and how we would all love to have a pour of this from better than a decade ago!:shocked:

I can't wait for the chill filtered 90 proof version of this!

Reading old posts here often makes me wish I had a time machine.

Very funny! And sorry to confuse, but this was what was to become Sazerac 18 yr. 90 proof. I think I got it in 1999 at the WhiskyFest New York event. Would be nice to see a legitimate Sazerac 18 yr. Barrel Proof.

Thanks for clearing it up, John.
