Everyday Spotlight｜Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Whiskey 2023 (124.9 Proof)｜ Other Products

Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Whiskey 2023 is the barrel-proof rye from the 2023 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, the limited fall release that stands among the most collected whiskeys in America. Named for the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in the Sazerac cocktail, Handy is bottled uncut and unfiltered straight from the barrel at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, and the 2023 edition came out at 124.9 proof after six years and two months in oak.Breaking Bourbon rated the 2023 release 4 out of 5, calling it a good showing with a bold, enjoyable flavor profile on point for the brand: stewed dark fruit, anise, black currant, Red Hot candy and light citrus on a bold, punchy nose, heavy raisin with anise, dried apricot and cinnamon on the palate, and a finish of rye spice, raisin, fennel and a developing caramel-honey sweetness. At 124.9 proof it is one of the more approachable Handy vintages neat, though it still rewards a few drops of water. Allocation is tiny every year, and bottles disappear the moment they hit the shelf.Buy Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Whiskey 2023 online with fast shipping right to your door.
