Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye 2011 Release

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Rye

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 64.3%

Score: 93 Points

Despite its strength, this whiskey has a muted nose with allspice, nutmeg, a hint of rye bread, oak, and maple syrup notes. The taste is powerful and slightly tart with a strong pepperiness that fades nicely to reveal green apple and brown sugar notes. The finish is smooth and long.
