Sazerac 18 — the 2009 vintage of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection's 18-year straight rye whiskey, now 16 years from its original fall release and one of the older vintage Saz18 expressions available in the Wooden Cork vertical collection.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2009 Sazerac 18 draws on rye whiskey distilled approximately 1991 — putting the spirit's production squarely in the early 1990s, pre-revival era of American rye. The Wooden Cork Saz18 collection spans from the 2001 vintage through the 2025 current release, with the 2009 sitting in the mid-range of the vertical. Secondary market premiums for older Saz18 vintages have increased substantially as the collection has grown and individual years have become rarer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2009\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/sazerac\"\u003eSazerac 18 vertical at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 2009 vintage compare to the 2025?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are 18-year Saz18 at the same distillery but 16 release-years apart.
