Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Distillery Bottling 750ml / 64.4% / 128.8 Proof
A 2018 bottling of Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, distilled and bottled by Buffalo Trace distillery for their annual prestige Antique Collection releases.
This 6-year-old Thomas H. Handy Sazerac rye whiskey was distilled in 2012 and bottled in Autumn 2018 at its phenomenal cask strength of 64.4% (128.8 US Proof). A remarkable dram packed with deep fruity woody flavours and searing spices.
The original Thomas H. Handy was a bartender in New Orleans who is credited with popularising the substitution of rye whiskey in the Sazerac cocktail during the phylloxera crisis of the late 19th century, when stocks of the original ingredient Cognac became impossible to source.
