This year’s Thomas H Handy is a 6 year old barrel proof rye weighing in at 127.2 proof. One of the most underrated BTAC offerings, the last few year’s of Handy have been incredibly delicious with a depth of flavor beyond the regular 90 proof release. It’s well known in Kentucky that rye doesn’t need the same years in barrel as bourbon to achieve their optimal flavor profile, and this 6 year is no expectation. Sweet and spicy rye with cinnamon syrup, allspice, and tropical fruit notes accompanied by leather, orchard, and sweet pine.
