About Ha Thomas Handy 2025 Rye
Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey 2025 is a barrel-proof Kentucky straight rye from Sazerac Company, part of the coveted Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC). Bottled uncut and unfiltered at 129.8 proof (63.5% ABV) from ~6-year-old barrels, it delivers explosive rye spice, dark caramel sweetness, and rich oak influence that varies annually with barrel selection. What makes it special is its high-proof purity, bold consistency, and collector status—highly allocated and hard to find. Ideal for rye enthusiasts seeking intense, neat-sipping complexity or adventurous mixologists. In the rye category, it stands out for baking spices and heat against milder peers, though some reviewers rank it mid-pack in BTAC; at $112.50/750ml, it offers strong value versus $150 SRP amid scarcity.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Explosive aromatics burst with cinnamon, clove, orange peel, dark caramel, and seasoned oak. Notes of vanilla, smoked jalapeño, golden raisin, and crème brûlée add sweet depth. Pungent rye bread and baking spices dominate, wrapped in ever-present heat.
👅 Palate
A surge of rye spice leads to peppery oak, brown sugar, molasses, peppercorn, and toasted wood in a full-bodied, oily mouthfeel. Raisin, cane sugar, grassy notes, and honey emerge boldly. Rich, powerful layers showcase balanced age without over-oaking.
✨ Finish
Long and powerful with lingering baking spices, charred oak, vanilla custard, seared mint, and warm heat.
