This New Orleans-inspired libation delivers the complexity of a craft cocktail straight from the bottle, combining smooth Kentucky bourbon with the signature spice of Louisiana's famous aromatic bitters. Crafted by the Sazerac Company at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this barreled cocktail honors Thomas Handy and John Schiller, two legendary figures in American cocktail history. Handy built a thriving New Orleans liquor business, while Schiller brought his bartending expertise from New York to the French Quarter. Their combined legacy lives on in this carefully balanced, barrel-aged expression that captures the spirit of 19th-century cocktail culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla and caramel from bourbon, cherry-tinged bitters, warm baking spices, light oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown sugar sweetness, orange peel brightness, cinnamon warmth, herbal complexity from Peychaud's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium length with lingering vanilla, gentle spice, and subtle bitter herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReady-to-Drink Cocktail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42% (84 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase Spirit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Bourbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBitters\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeychaud's Bitters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffalo Trace Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSazerac Company\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Entertaining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serve chilled over ice with an orange twist for instant cocktail hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCocktail Novices:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect introduction to classic Old Fashioned flavors without the mixing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGift Giving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thoughtful present for bourbon lovers and cocktail enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCamping \u0026amp; Travel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enjoy craft cocktail quality anywhere without bartending tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I serve Handy \u0026amp; Schiller Barreled Old Fashioned?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe chilled over a large ice cube in a rocks glass with an orange peel garnish. The cocktail is ready to drink straight from the bottle—no mixing required. For best results, chill the bottle before serving or pour over fresh ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this different from making an Old Fashioned at home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis barreled cocktail undergoes additional aging that marries the bourbon and bitters in ways impossible to achieve through simple mixing. The barrel aging adds subtle oak notes and creates a more integrated flavor profile than a freshly mixed cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this as strong as regular bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 84 proof, this cocktail is slightly lower in alcohol than most straight bourbons, which typically range from 90-100 proof. The addition of bitters and barrel aging creates a smoother drinking experience while maintaining the bourbon's character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this in other cocktails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile designed to drink neat or on the rocks, this barreled Old Fashioned works wonderfully in bourbon-forward cocktails like Boulevardiers or Whiskey Sours. Use it as a base spirit replacement for added complexity and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will an opened bottle stay fresh?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn opened bottle will maintain peak flavor for 6-12 months when stored properly in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. The high alcohol content preserves the cocktail well, though flavors may gradually mellow over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handy \u0026 Schiller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53343456952614,"sku":"HANDY-SCHILLER-BARRELED-SAO2X6","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7951\/6015\/files\/Screenshot2026-06-14at4.11.07PM-fotor-bg-remover-20260614161122.png?v=1781481252","url":"https:\/\/pbexpressliquor.com\/products\/handy-schiller-barreled-old-fashioned-ready-to-drink","provider":"PB Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
