- Description
- Thomas H. Handy Sazerac 2015 is a high-proof straight rye whiskey from Buffalo Trace, aged six years in virgin American white oak and bottled at 64.75% ABV. The nose delivers candied spice—star anise and cinnamon—while the palate reveals layers of black pepper, creamy chocolate, spring flowers and spearmint, with surprising elegance despite the proof. The finish is persistent and warming, the virgin oak imparting bold vanilla and wood spice without harshness. A rye for serious drinkers seeking structure, proof and complexity in equal measure.
