Exceptional Barrel-Proof Rye Whiskey

Unlike many rye whiskeys that are diluted before bottling, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye 2020 is presented at full cask strength. This approach preserves the whiskey’s natural intensity while allowing its distinctive rye spice, oak, sweetness, and herbal complexity to shine through.

Careful maturation in new charred American oak barrels develops layers of cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla, dark chocolate, mint, and toasted oak, creating an unforgettable sipping experience.
