In this episode of the Spirits Blind Tasting podcast I'm doing a side-by-side vertical blind tasting of the Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey from 2015 and 2017. Feel free to follow along with a dram of any of these or any other spirit you enjoy as I try to uncover the aromas and flavors of these 2 spirits.
