Myers Rum Signature Cask Collection - Sazerac 18 Year Finish

Sazerac Rye 18 is the oldest rye in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection — and this is Myers's dark rum finished in its barrels. Myers's is the original Jamaican dark rum, made since 1879 and produced primarily at Clarendon Distillery from pot- and column-still molasses rum; when Sazerac bought the brand in 2018, it gained access to the most sought-after empty barrels in American whiskey. The Signature Cask Collection, launched in October 2024 and blended by Drew Mayville — the Sazerac master blender behind the Antique Collection itself — finishes Myers's Original Dark in five different BTAC barrels, each drawn as a single barrel and proofed to suit the cask. The Sazerac 18 edition is bottled at 43% ABV. Eighteen-year rye barrels bring something the bourbon casks don't: expect the Myers's signature of molasses, brown sugar, and gentle Jamaican banana funk layered with the rye cask's dried herb, baking spice, mint, and a peppery, slightly dry edge, over the well-worn oak of a barrel that spent nearly two decades holding whiskey, finishing long with spice and dark sugar. Honest note: a limited release at $80, gentler in proof than the Stagg edition, and the one for rye drinkers curious about rum — the Weller and Eagle Rare editions are the bourbon lover's doors, the Stagg the boldest. For a Rum Manhattan, a rye-cask Old Fashioned, or neat, it's Jamaica through Sazerac 18's wood.
