This whiskey tastes quite a bit different than most I have been drinking lately so I think that's part of why I liked it so much (that and it's a rye). I'm also having trouble making the bottle last as I'm already 70% of the way through it. I didn't drink it all on my own although I wish I had. This bottle has already made its way towards the top of my list in favorites. If you see it on the shelves and have the money to spend, I would without a doubt pick a bottle up. Anyone else had this? Thoughts?
Sazerac is a good rye. Everything from the antique collection : (

The antiques come out in the September - October time frame here in Texas - not sure when where you are. A good bet would be go to to the place where you got your Sazerac and ask to get put on the list in case they get any of these in the meantime or for next years releases.
