This whiskey is distilled meticulously from a high-quality rye grain mash layout at DSP-KY-113 in Frankfort, Kentucky. The specific barrels chosen for the 2019 allocation run were matured for six years on the highly dynamic middle floors of Warehouses K, M, and N. Bypassing modern chill-filtration cycles entirely ensures all natural wood vanillins and heavy grain crop oils remain completely intact inside the bottle solution.

Every bottle handled by Midnight Whiskey is procured strictly through authorized, verified allocation channels and passes rigorous physical seal and label inspection points before being logged into inventory. Shipments are handled via specialized, glass-rated container packaging and absolute age-verification checks; an adult signature (21+) is strictly mandatory upon delivery.

How does Thomas H. Handy differ from Sazerac 18?

Both are **Buffalo Trace** ryes, but **Handy** is young (six years) and bottled at full barrel strength, 125.7 proof for 2019, while Sazerac 18 is aged 18 years and bottled at 90 proof. **Handy** favors the spirit's bright rye character; Sazerac 18 is shaped by long barrel aging. The 2019 **Handy** shows creamy butterscotch and vanilla managed under the **Sazerac Company**.
