About this listRye whiskey

Under US federal rules, rye whisky must be distilled from a fermented mash of not less than 51 percent rye at 160 proof or less and stored in charred new oak barrels at 125 proof or less. Straight rye must spend at least 2 years in those barrels, with no neutral spirits and no coloring, flavoring or blending materials added. Whisky under 4 years old must carry an age statement, and when whiskies of different ages are combined the stated age is that of the youngest. Many releases on this list are yearly editions whose age and proof change each time, so check the figures for each edition rather than carrying them over. Buffalo Trace releases Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye and Sazerac 18 each fall in its Antique Collection: the 2025 Handy was uncut and unfiltered at 129.8 proof, up from 127.2 the year before, and the 2025 Sazerac 18 was bottled at 18 years and 5 months and 90 proof. The 2025 collection had a suggested retail price of $149.99 per bottle.
