Handy & Schiller Barreled Old Fashioned Cocktail
750mL | 84 Proof (42% ABV) | Pre-Mixed Cocktail | Produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery
Process & Profile
The Handy & Schiller Barreled Old Fashioned is a pre-batched cocktail crafted using Buffalo Trace Bourbon, classic Old Fashioned bitters, orange oil, and sugar. After blending, the cocktail is aged in freshly emptied Buffalo Trace barrels to deepen its flavor and bring new complexity to the traditional Old Fashioned. Named after legendary Buffalo Trace figures George T. Stagg’s traveling whiskey salesmen—Mr. Handy and Mr. Schiller—this expression honors a timeless American cocktail.
Barrel aging smooths the edges and introduces subtle layers of oak, vanilla, and spice that elevate it beyond a standard pre-made drink.
