Where To Buy Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Near Me
Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Whiskey is part of Buffalo Trace’s revered Antique Collection, released annually in limited supply. Named after pioneer bartender who popularized rye in the legendary Sazerac cocktail, this whiskey is bottled uncut and unfiltered, delivering a powerful and authentic rye experience.
Most recent bottlings hover around 127 proof (~63.6% ABV) and see approximately 6+ years of aging on charred American oak barrels. Intense flavour, intricate spice, lasting finish.
Tasting Profile:
-
Nose: Rich caramel, candied orange, baking spice, mint, saddlewood, and musk—bursting when opened.
-
Palate: Thick and chewy—maple, cinnamon, anise, dark chocolate, toffee, licorice, ginger, and menthol, all layered over bold rye spice.
-
Finish: Long and warming—peppery, sweet with lingering maple, black pepper, spice, and a touch of fruity oak
