The 2001 Sazerac 18 Year is a second-year BTAC release — from the program's absolute founding era, years before it achieved the cultural status that now makes even recent vintages extraordinarily difficult to source. Over two decades later, surviving 2001 Sazerac bottles represent the BTAC program at its most historical and irreplaceable.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe BTAC was established with five expressions: George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye, Eagle Rare 17 Year, and Sazerac Rye 18 Year.
