I am also a long time fan of Sazerac Rye and I've also had problems finding it over the years. There've been long stretches when my liquor store can't get it at all, so I've learned to stock up when I see it. When forced to buy something else I've been pleased with High West Whiskey's 21 yo Rocky Mountain Rye which, while more expensive than the Sazerac, is excellent stuff.
