Of the two rye releases in Buffalo Trace’s annual Antique Collection, the Thomas H. Handy is the one whiskey fans pay the most attention to, although why is unclear. While the age on the Handy release is usually six years old, as opposed to 18 for the Collection’s straight Sazerac, so perhaps it is a preference for cask strength, unfiltered whiskey among Buffalo Trace’s diehard fans that make Handy the more popular Antique Collection rye.
