Product Description

Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey: Uncut, Unfiltered Rye with Bold Spice

Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey is an uncut and unfiltered straight rye whiskey from Buffalo Trace Distillery. Named for the New Orleans bartender associated with the early Sazerac cocktail, it is bottled directly from the barrel and presented as part of the distillery’s limited Antique Collection.

This is a powerful rye built around concentrated spice and rich confectionery notes. Because release strength can vary by annual batch, check the bottle label for the exact proof of the bottle offered.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and expressive, with bold spice and sweet depth.

Palate: Toffee, fig cake and candied fruit lead into mint, cinnamon and clove.

Finish: Long and warm, with allspice, coconut and nutmeg.

Food Pairings

Pair this robust rye with smoked brisket, pepper-crusted steak, aged cheddar or dark chocolate. Rich foods can stand up to its barrel-strength intensity, while restrained sweetness complements its toffee and fruit notes.

Serving Suggestions

Buffalo Trace recommends enjoying Thomas H. Handy neat. Pour a small measure into a whiskey glass and allow it to rest before tasting; a few drops of water may help open the aromas and soften the intensity of an uncut pour.
