Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey, named after the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in the Sazerac cocktail, is an uncut and unfiltered whiskey bottled directly from the barrel. Tracing its origins to the 1800s, when saloons disguised as coffee houses served rye whiskey with Peychaud’s Bitters, this whiskey played a key role in the creation of the Sazerac, one of America’s first branded cocktails.

- The palate has a chewy mouthfeel, and offers baking spices, toasted rye bread, sour cherries, burnt caramel, and butterscotch.

- With that being said, its flavor profile continues to be a one that demonstrates a fairly high degree of complexity for a barrel proof rye, and I’ve yet to find any other that can offer an even remotely similar combination of flavors.
