Buffalo Trace Antique CollectionThe Antique Collection is bottled once a year in October and appears on store shelves in early to mid November. Because there are limited bottlings of this collection it is sometimes hard to find after a few months. For more information about the brands in the collection, I would encourage you to visit www.greatbourbon.com

George T. Stagg (15 Year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey) An extremely hearty whiskey. Stagg comes straight out of the barrel, uncut and unfiltered. Powerful and intense; add a few drops of mineral water, sit back and ponder the wonders of the universe.

Sazerac Rye 18-Year-Old (90 proof, Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey) Amber chestnut color. Huge, spicy aroma. Very mature, with notes of oak, leather, and molasses. Enormous in every respect, from its thick, chewy texture to its unbelievably spicy and very powerful flavors. The long, warm finish is preceded by notes of mint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, vanilla, molasses, oak, leather, and lingering pepper.

Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old (90 Proof, "Rye Recipe" Kentucky Straight Bourbon) This deep, burnished-gold whiskey has a somewhat fragrant nose, and the aromas develop an almost wine-like character, with a hint of almonds lurking in the backdrop. The body is big and silky, and the palate is far spicier than the nose leads you to believe, but there are also violet notes here, along with a touch of caramel and a hint of old leather. The finish is very leathery, and very long. William Larue Weller Uncut & Unfiltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey The fragrance is alive with scents of pepper, oak, caramel corn, new leather, plums, light toffee and pipe tobacco. The palate entry is astoundingly rich, deeply honey-like, and gently warming; the midpalate features tastes of marshmallow, caramel corn, sautéed almonds, nougat, figs and dates. Finishes composed and flavorfully sweet. Add mineral water. Delicious!

Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Uncut & Unfiltered Straight Rye Whiskey Any crispier and the glass would shatter: hard as a diamond rye, but oh! So much more of a rare and valuable gem!
