The Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye, a standout in the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, honors the legacy of Thomas H. Handy—an influential 19th-century New Orleans bartender credited with popularizing the Sazerac cocktail. This annual limited release pays homage to the era when rye whiskey was the spirit of choice for classic cocktails in the Crescent City. Bottled at a striking 129.8 proof for its 2025 release, this straight rye celebrates the unfiltered, barrel-strength style favored by whiskey enthusiasts. The bottle’s distinctive tall, slender profile and bold label evoke the heritage of the iconic Sazerac House. Each year, collectors and fans eagerly anticipate this release, which draws on Buffalo Trace’s deep rye whiskey traditions and storied warehouse aging. Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye stands as a crucial piece of American whiskey history, treasured for its connection to the roots of cocktail culture.
