Handy Sazerac is the uncut, unfiltered straight rye whiskey of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, one of the most sought-after annual releases in American whiskey. This bottle is 125.7 proof, the strength of the 2019 edition, which was distilled in the spring of 2013 and aged about six years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whiskey is named after Thomas H. Handy, the New Orleans bartender credited with making the Sazerac cocktail with rye whiskey in the nineteenth century. Each fall, Buffalo Trace releases it alongside George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, Eagle Rare 17 Year Old and Sazerac 18 Year Old, and together the five are among the most hunted bottles of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandy is bottled straight from the barrel, without water or filtration, so its proof changes from year to year. The 2019 edition matured in Warehouses K, M and N at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, before being bottled at 125.7 proof. At that strength, rye's signature spice is concentrated and bold, and the whiskey opens beautifully with a little water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tall, slender bottle carries Handy's antique-style label and red capsule. It is a cornerstone for any collection of American rye and a superb gift for a whiskey enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace Distillery (Sazerac)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, uncut and unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, 2019 release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 6 years (distilled spring 2013)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125.7 proof (62.85% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred oak; Warehouses K, M and N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frankfort, Kentucky, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt cask strength, taste a small measure neat, then add water a few drops at a time to find your balance.
