The 2016 Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye stands as a celebrated entry in Buffalo Trace’s revered Antique Collection. Named after the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey in the original Sazerac cocktail, this expression honors both the spirit’s 19th-century roots and its ongoing legacy in American whiskey culture. Released annually in limited quantities, each Handy bottling draws collectors and enthusiasts for its bold character and scarcity. The 2016 edition, bottled at 126.2 proof, exemplifies the unfiltered, straight-from-the-barrel style that defines the series. Sourced from Buffalo Trace’s storied warehouses, it continues a tradition that began in 2006, bridging the past with modern appreciation for rye’s complexity. Highly sought after, the Handy name has become synonymous with the resurgence of interest in straight rye whiskey, making the 2016 release a coveted piece of American whiskey history.
