Uncorking Handy & Schiller Small Batch Paper Plane Cocktail 750ml: A Masterclass in Flavor

Made in the United States and crafted in the cocktails category, Handy & Schiller Small Batch Paper Plane Cocktail 750ml brings a modern classic to your glass with zero prep. This ready-to-drink bourbon cocktail is produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery under the Handy & Schiller name, built to pour like a great bar serve—no shaking, no measuring.

The Paper Plane is loved for its tight balance: bourbon warmth, bright citrus, bittersweet aperitif character, and a light herbal edge. At 25% ABV (50 proof), this small batch bottle has more structure than many lower-proof RTDs, so it stays flavorful over ice while still tasting smooth and approachable.

The bottle looks sharp and gift-ready, with an ornate black label, bold “Paper Plane” nameplate, and a warm amber cocktail color that signals a spirit-forward pour. It’s the kind of bottle that belongs front-and-center on a bar cart.
