A barrel-proof, uncut rye whiskey from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC). 129.8 Proof. Aged 6+ years.
The 2025 Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye is the “wild card” of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collectionunapologetically bold, youthful, and vibrant. Bottled at a staggering 129.8 proof (64.9% ABV), this release continues the labels legacy as one of the premier barrel-proof rye whiskeys in the world.
While other BTAC members rely on decades of aging, Thomas H. Handy proves that power and complexity don’t require 18 years in oak. Aged for 6 years and 3 months, this uncut and unfiltered rye delivers an immediate, spicy punch that cuts through any mixer, though it is best revered neat. It honors the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in the Sazerac cocktail, offering a profile that is as historic as it is intense.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A lively and aromatic mix of spicy oak, bright fruit, and melting fudge. Subtle notes of green apple and anise peel through the heat.
Palate: Full-bodied and energetic. Waves of bold rye spice crash into notes of posh dark chocolate, sponge cake, and candied orange peel.
Finish: Long, warming, and herbaceous. Leaves a lingering trail of baking spices, green peppercorns, and sweet toffee.

Why it’s Special The Thomas H. Handy is widely considered the “drinker’s favorite” of the Antique Collection. While the older Sazerac 18 Year offers refinement, the Handy offers raw power. The 2025 vintage, sitting at nearly 130 proof, is a high-octane example of Buffalo Trace’s rye capabilities, showcasing how heat and flavor can exist in perfect, albeit aggressive, harmony.
