Heritage

Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey 2024 Release – 127.2 Proof (750ml) is one of the most sought-after annual releases from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, celebrated for its uncut, unfiltered character and intense rye spice profile.

Bottled at full barrel proof without chill filtration, this limited release showcases rye whiskey in its purest form — bold, powerful, and remarkably expressive. Named after legendary New Orleans bartender Thomas H. Handy, who helped popularize the Sazerac cocktail in the 19th century, the whiskey reflects a traditional American rye style elevated through careful aging and meticulous barrel selection.

The 2024 release delivers a concentrated and layered drinking experience, balancing robust spice with deep sweetness and oak influence. High proof intensity is supported by impressive structure, allowing the whiskey to evolve in the glass while maintaining clarity and precision. Despite its strength, it remains approachable for seasoned rye enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity and complexity.

Produced in limited quantities each year, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey has become a centerpiece bottle for collectors and serious whiskey drinkers alike. Its annual variation ensures every release offers a distinct snapshot of Buffalo Trace’s aging warehouses and blending expertise.
