Five limited-release whiskies are featured in the 2007 Antique Collection from Frankfort's Buffalo Trace Distillery. You'll have a hard time choosing among Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old, Eagle Rare 17 Year Old, George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller and Thomas H. Handy Sazerac. The George T. Stagg is especially remarkable, weighing in at 144.8 proof, the strongest the distillery says it's ever made.
Wild Turkey has some new additions to the flock as well. I don't know about $90 for 15 year old Bourbon, but I looking forward to trying the Russell's Reserve Rye.
The Wild Turkey line has expanded of late, as Pernod recently announced the introduction of three new products created by master distiller Jimmy Russell and his son, associate distiller Eddie Russell. American Honey, a higher proof version of Wild Turkey’s Bourbon liqueur, is set to retail nationally at around $20. Russell’s Reserve Rye is a small-batch offering retailing for $25 in the rye whiskey category spirits marketers say is ready to take off. And Wild Turkey American Spirit, a 15-year-old, limited edition, 100 proof Bourbon, is taking aim at the segment’s high end. It will retail for about $90.
P.S. If you've never had a Bourbon/Rye from the Buffalo Trace stables, do yourself a favor and find some. In my opinion they're making the best Bourbon/Rye that is available today. Cheers.

Eagle Rare is my favorite bourbon, I promoise you will not be disappointed.
Can't wait to get my hands on a bottle of the 17 year old stuff.
Going to happy hour and not drinking is like going to an orgy and masturbating. You just took a great idea and turned it into a circle jerk. -Sixpack595
