Description
Named after the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in the Sazerac Cocktail, this unfiltered and uncut Rye Whiskey is drawn and bottled directly from the cask, just as it was over a century ago. Full of lavish aromas and rich flavours, this authentic American rye whiskey is a token of the enduring history of New Orleans and the legacy of Thomas H. Handy.
Ages approximately for 7 years and 3 months.
The THH BTAC release was first started in 2006, and this 4th release is a marriage of 51 hand-picked barrels that were hand selected for this 2009 Thomas H Handy Sazerac expression!
