Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye (Fall 2023)

Neat

Definitely comparable barrel proof ryes out there for less than a 1/5th the secondary price. Jack Daniel's SBBP Rye, Woodinville Cask Strength Rye.

Pretty nice. Very rich and sweet and classic buffalo trace. Not obviously a rye. Little hot for my liking but the rich sweetness definitely was stronger than the alcohol.

Nose: lots of red fruit, hot tamales candy, touch of licorice Palate: black tea, jammy stone fruit, more cinnamon spice Finish: finishes with some bourbon notes like caramel and brown sugar. Big rye notes as well 7 on the t8ke scale
