Thomas H Handy Sazerac Rye bottled 2013

This rye was distilled in Spring of 2007 and aged in the 7th floor of warehouse K.

Nose: Coffee beans, soapy, lemon grass, eggnog, and butter scotch.

Taste: It's medium bodied. Raisins, molasses, a nice strong rye spice, lots of tannins and grip. Quite hot but not unbearable. Other taste notes include orange peel and some lemon tea.

Finish: oak, lemon tea again, dry, tannins, wood, the coffee returns, and rye spice again.

I personally liked the profile of the 2012 Handy and found it to be more enjoyable than this. There was also more power to that bottling than this one.
