Thomas H. Handy Sazerac 2014 is the uncut and unfiltered straight rye whiskey in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, released at a stated 129.2 proof. It is a high-intensity rye for collectors and experienced drinkers who want annual-release character rather than a standard-proof bottle.
From the Producer
Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, owned by the Sazerac Company, releases Thomas H. Handy Sazerac each year as part of its Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. The whiskey is bottled straight from the barrel without chill-filtration or proofing down, so each year's release carries its own distinct proof; the 2014 edition was bottled at 129.2 proof (64.6% ABV).
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Orange peel, clove, mint, dark caramel, cinnamon and rye spice.
- Palate: Powerful and oily, with pepper, toffee, herbal rye, oak and pronounced barrel-strength warmth.
- Finish: Long and spicy, with persistent oak, baking spice and dry rye grip.
Best For
BTAC collectors, rye-focused tastings, serious American whiskey portfolios and buyers who specifically seek barrel-proof annual releases.
