Thomas H.Handy Sazerac Rye 2014 Release. Image courtesy Buffalo Trace. This is the uncut, unfiltered Rye from the annual Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, and the nose has notes of clove, oak, tobacco, old leather, nutmeg, ginger, and a hint of molasses. The taste is intensely spicy and dry with clove, cinnamon, dry rub barbecue seasoning, and hints of honey. The finish is short and dry with fading spices. (September, 2014)
