Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey, 2024 Release is part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, the boldest and youngest rye in the lineup. Named after the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in the Sazerac Cocktail, this uncut and unfiltered straight rye is bottled directly from the barrel, just as it was over a century ago. Aged 6 years and 3 months, it's bottled at natural barrel proof, 127.2 proof (63.6% ABV).
Released once a year alongside icons like Eagle Rare 17 and George T. Stagg, the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection is built around barrels selected for their exceptional character. Thomas H. Handy is the youngest, boldest expression in the lineup, selected from barrels aged roughly 6 to 8 years at peak spice and grain intensity, before extended oak aging would begin to dominate.
Where Sazerac 18 Year shows what time and oak integration produce, Thomas H. Handy shows intense young rye at full natural concentration: vivid cinnamon, clove, and peppery grain character, bottled with nothing added and nothing taken away.
Sip it neat to take in its full barrel-proof intensity, or add a splash of water or an ice cube, since the alcohol can sear the palate at full strength.
It is bottled at natural barrel proof, 127.2 proof, which is 63.6% ABV.
They're the two rye poles of the Antique Collection. Handy is young and full-proof, with vivid spice and candied fruit; Sazerac 18 is aged three times longer and bottled at 90 proof, trading fire for deep, oaky elegance.
