Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey 2018 128.8 Proof

Named after the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in the Sazerac Cocktail, this uncut and unfiltered Straight Rye Whiskey is bottled directly from the barrel, just as it was over a century ago. Full of rich flavors, this authentic American rye whiskey is a symbol of the timeless history of New Orleans and the legacy of Thomas H. Handy. This release was matured for over six years in 73 charred American white oak barrels before it was bottled at a cask strength 64. 4% ABV. If rye whiskey is your thing, then this is a bottling you'll absolutely love.

Tasting notes:

Powerful, lush, and boldly spicy. Flavors of toffee, fig cake, and candied fruit, followed by mint, cinnamon and clove. The finish ultimately reveals subtle notes of allspice, coconut and nutmeg. Long and warm.
