Buzzard’s Roost Whiskey launched its first Bourbon on Nov. 9, adding to its collection of luxury whiskeys with a launch event at its new home, Bardstown Bourbon Co.
Buzzard’s Roost launched its first rye whiskey in2019, and has since released multiple rye expressions, including Very Small Batch, Single Barrel, Barrel Strength, Toasted Barrel and Peated Barrel.
“We are very proud of our first Bourbon and thrilled to launch it at our new home, Bardstown Bourbon Co., says Buzzard’s Roost Co-founder/CEO Judy Hollis Jones. “We started Buzzard’s Roost with a focus on creating exceptional whiskies using pioneering techniques and our team has used a great deal of finesse to create a Bourbon that is like no other.
”Buzzard’s Roost Bourbon is a four-year-old barrel-strength (114.4proof) blend of two rye-based mash bills distilled in Indiana. The nose is powerful and offers caramel, dark chocolate, and baking spices with a hint of perfectly seasoned oak, backed up with orange peel, dark fruit and aging tobacco. The palate gives way to an explosion of sweetness highlighted by vanilla and coconut at the mid-palate, accompanied by a rich blast of maraschino cherry and citrus. The finish is a perfect balance of structure and heat. SRP: $84.99.
