Thomas H. Handy

Thomas H. Handy is a revered name in the world of premium bourbon, recognized for its bold flavor and exceptional craftsmanship. Part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, Thomas H. Handy is a straight rye whiskey that pays homage to one of the distillery's most legendary figures, Thomas H. Handy, who was a longtime distillery manager during the late 19th century. Under Handy's leadership, the distillery established itself as a beacon of high-quality whiskey production, and his namesake rye whiskey continues this legacy with unmatched quality and character.

Known for its cask strength expression, Thomas H. Handy is bottled uncut and unfiltered, giving it a rich and intense flavor profile that rye whiskey enthusiasts crave. The whiskey is aged for several years in charred oak barrels, allowing it to develop deep, complex notes of spice, vanilla, caramel, and a hint of oak. Its full-bodied nature and robust flavors make it a favorite among connoisseurs, who appreciate its boldness, yet balanced smoothness. 

What sets Thomas H. Handy apart from other rye whiskeys is its unfiltered, raw presentation, which preserves the true essence of the spirit and its aging process. This results in a whiskey that delivers a pure, unadulterated rye experience with every sip.

For those who seek a rare, extraordinary rye whiskey with a history as rich as its flavor, Thomas H. Handy offers an exceptional tasting experience—one that’s a true tribute to its namesake and the legacy of Buffalo Trace.
