Note di degustazione
Named for the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in a Sazerac cocktail, this aged a minimum of 6 years and was bottled uncut and unfiltered. The nose is perfumed with dainty citrus, nougat, cigar wrapper, and earthy aromas of raw grain. Zippy heat muscles its way forward on the palate, and can be allencompassing—water coaxes out citrus oil, peppery spice, leather, and black coffee. The finish darkens that coffee into inky espresso, accented by baking chocolate, spicy grain, and a hint of cherry tang. (Release date: 10/24)

The youthful, testosterone-laden member of the Antique Collection family. Bold and spicy with cinnamon and clove, but softened and balanced by thick toffee, vanilla, and honeyed orchard fruit. Lush and mouth-coating. An exercise in extremes: bold, muscular spice, along with soothing sweeter notes. While its older sibling, Sazerac 18 year old, expresses a classic “older rye” low-risk profile, Handy pushes the envelope in many directions.
