About Ha Sazerac Rye 18Yr 2023
Ha Sazerac Rye 18Yr 2023 is an exceptional 18-year-old Kentucky straight rye whiskey produced by Sazerac Company Inc., bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof) in a 750ml size for $112.50. This limited annual release from Buffalo Trace Distillery barrels filled in 2004-2005 and aged in Warehouses K, L, and M delivers a refined balance of rye spice, oak maturity, and subtle sweetness, earning high praise like 94/100 from VinePair and gold medals in competitions. What makes it special is its delicate finesse for such an aged rye—elegant herbal notes, creamy mouthfeel, and restrained spice without overwhelming aggression, setting it apart from bolder, younger ryes. Ideal for discerning sippers who appreciate nuanced, mature whiskeys neat or on the rocks, it compares favorably in the super-premium category against peers like high-age BTAC ryes, offering superior balance and subtlety over flashier profiles, though some note it lacks explosive intensity.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Black pepper and citrus lead with lemon peel, bitter orange rind, and baking spices like clove and ginger. Herbal grassiness evokes wintergreen, spearmint, caraway, alongside melon, honeydew, candy corn, cherry lozenges, and dried apricot. Subtle potpourri, mint, and antiqued wood add mature depth.
👅 Palate
Delicate macadamia nut honey opens sweetly, transitioning to light rye spice, clove, vanilla, mint, and oak tannins with creamy, syrupy texture that coats the tongue. Vegetative straw, mild fruits, cherry, fennel, star anise, and red pepper flakes emerge, feeling higher-proof despite 90 proof. Flavors unfold with finesse, balancing spice and subtle sweetness.
✨ Finish
Long, smooth, and warm with lingering rye spice, leather, aged dry oak, mustiness, menthol, apricot, and light cinnamon.
