Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye is an annual release and part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC).
Like William Larue Weller and George T. Stagg, Thomas H. Handy is bottled at its natural barrel proof, without dilution or added water. This allows the whiskey to showcase its full strength and intensity, appealing to those who enjoy bold and robust flavors.
It was first released and added to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection in 2006, and the five-bottle lineup has remained the same since that point.
It uses the same mashbill as the standard Sazerac Rye and Sazerac 18 Year Old, but this is the only whiskey using Buffalo Trace’s Rye Mashbill that is available at barrel proof.
