The 2013 Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey is a powerhouse rye that showcases the bold and robust character that has made this expression a legend among whiskey enthusiasts. As part of the highly coveted Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, this uncut, unfiltered rye is a true reflection of craftsmanship and tradition, offering a raw yet refined tasting experience. Named after the New Orleans bartender who first used rye in the iconic Sazerac cocktail, this whiskey is a tribute to heritage and innovation in every bottle.

In the glass, this rye whiskey displays a deep amber color that hints at its rich, full-bodied nature. The nose is intense and layered, with enticing aromas of caramel, dark chocolate, and dried fruits, combined with a burst of spices like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. Hints of toasted oak, mint, and black pepper add to the complexity, creating a sensory experience that draws you in.

On the palate, the 2013 Thomas H. Handy Rye delivers a bold and robust flavor profile. The initial wave of sweet toffee and dark fruits quickly gives way to spicy rye grain, black pepper, and a touch of herbal notes. The intensity of the rye spice is balanced by hints of vanilla, tobacco, and oak, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that dance on the palate. Its high proof adds a warm, satisfying kick, leading to a long and powerful finish filled with lingering spice, hints of cocoa, and a touch of leather.

This whiskey is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its intricate flavors. It also makes a perfect base for a classic Sazerac cocktail, where its bold rye character truly shines. For those who appreciate a strong and complex rye, this expression is a must-have addition to any collection.

Available now at Liquor Express, the 2013 Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey is more than just a bottle; it's a piece of whiskey history. Raise a glass to the spirit of innovation and the legacy of one of the finest ryes ever crafted. Cheers to savoring a timeless classic!
