Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye (Fall 2023)

Very good. The pop of spicy sweetness on the front of the palette is an experience. Finish hangs for a while

This is the pinnacle of rye whiskey, such an underrated BTAC bottle. Its the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. No dill, no pickle notes. The palate brings caramel, apricots and allspice. And the finish is spectacular with spicy chocolate/coffee lingering on your palate. My wife, who hates whiskey, thought this was delicious! This bottle is worth the money.

Starts hot, but quickly smooths out (5 minutes on ice ball). Very good rye, though not my favorite. Caramel notes.
