We are splitting our allocation of this whiskey between a bottle lottery and a charity auction (timeline below). Why all the fuss? Read more about this approach over on the blog.
A sublime straight rye whiskey from the 2018 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, this Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Whiskey (named after the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in the Sazerac Cocktail) distilled in the spring of 2012 from a mash bill that also included corn and malted barley among the key Minnesota rye. It was matured for over six years in 73 charred American white oak barrels before it was bottled at a cask strength 64.4% ABV. If rye whiskey is your thing, then this is a bottling you'll absolutely love.

Tasting Note by The Producer
Powerful, lush, and boldly spicy. Flavors of toffee, fig cake, and candied fruit, followed by mint, cinnamon and clove. The finish ultimately reveals subtle notes of allspice, coconut and nutmeg. Long and warm.
