Thomas H. Handy Sazerac 2018

Part of the annual Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and named after the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in the Sazerac cocktail, Thomas H. Handy, this uncut and unfiltered straight rye whiskey is bottled directly from the barrel, just as it was over a century ago. Distilled in 2012 from a mash bill that included corn and malted barley among the key Minnesota rye, matured for over 6 years in 73 charred American white oak barrels and bottled in 2018 at a cask strength of 64.4%. (Bottle size750ml)

Nose: Powerful, lush, and boldly spicy.

Palate: Flavours of toffee, fig cake, and candied fruit, followed by mint, cinnamon and clove.

Finish: The finish ultimately reveals subtle notes of allspice, coconut and nutmeg. Long and warm.
