Whiskey: Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye (2018 Release)

"America's first cocktail" was created in New Orleans by Thomas H Handy, who chose to use Rye whiskey instead of the Sazerac De Forge Et Fils Cognac that was originally the main ingredient in the Sazerac cocktail. This straight rye from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection takes Handy's name, and recreates the unfiltered and cask strength nature of the whiskey he would have used a century ago to reimagine the Sazerac and make it a New Orleans classic.

Palate: Flavors of toffee, fig cake, and candied fruit, followed by mint, cinnamon and clove.

Finish: The finish ultimately reveals subtle notes of allspice, coconut and nutmeg. Long and warm.
