Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye 2016 Release
Released within the famous and eagerly awaited Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
In recent years, due to the supply shortage of bourbon, rye whiskeys - including those of Thomas H. Handy - have both become increasingly popular, and then increasingly harder to get hold of. Particularly so after the T.H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey 2011 release was named Jim Murray's "Whisky of the Year!"
The 2016 bottling features 61 hand-picked barrels which were filled in the spring of 2010 at 125 Proof (62.5%), with the whiskey drawn in autumn 2016 after 6 years and 3 months of ageing at 126.2 Proof (63.1%) and bottled unfiltered. The malt bill features Minnesota Rye, Grade #1 and #2 Kentucky corn and North Dakota malted barley.
Please be advised that the absence of any specific condition reports does not imply that this bottle is in perfect condition. We recommend close inspection of all images prior to placing any bids, and any further information required can be provided upon request.
Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.
