This year, it includes Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old Bourbon, George T. Stagg Bourbon, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey, Sazerac 18-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, and William Larue Weller Bourbon.

“William Larue Weller Bourbon shines among the Collection this year with its caramel notes and long, creamy finish. It’s fitting that this year also marks the 25th anniversary of Sazerac Company’s acquisition of the Weller brand,” Buffalo Trace Distillery Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley said in a press release. “For more than two decades, we’ve worked hard to craft the signature flavors that whiskey enthusiasts love, both within the Weller brand and the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Our commitment to this tradition is stronger than ever, and we look forward to carrying it well into the future.”

Going green never tasted so good: 7 sustainable spirits to try now
Get to know these sustainable spirits brands

Sustainability (especially in the alcohol world) isn't easy. It requires distilleries to create initiatives for environmentally responsible actions that impact everything they do, from where they source their ingredients to what they package their spirits into how they distribute their products. To be sustainable, they need to lower waste and reduce their overall carbon footprint.

In my nearly twenty years of writing about alcohol, I've been lucky enough to visit distilleries all over the world, from Taiwan to Tennessee. And in those years, I've seen a handful of highly sustainable distilleries in action. There's something special about knowing that not only is the whiskey, rum, vodka, or tequila well-made and flavorful but it's made in a way that doesn't negatively impact the world for our children and beyond.
