Buffalo Trace Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye 2023

Thomas H. Handy is the youngest whiskey in Buffalo Trace’s Antique Collection, and along with William Larue Weller, fairly consistent from year to year. With a few exceptions, Thomas H. Handy is often highlighted by notes of raisin, citrus, cinnamon, and rye spice. At its proof that typically hovers around 125-130, it’s a bold whiskey that doesn’t pull any punches. Yet at the same time, it’s typically very drinkable, and offers enough to distinguish itself from the growing number of high proof ryes in the marketplace.
