Louisville, Kentucky-based Buzzard’s Roost Whiskey is adding an exciting new bourbon to its line-up that fully expresses the proprietary double-oak style for which the brand is known, and is priced to appeal to all whiskey lovers.
After spending years maturing in new American white oak barrels, new Buzzard’s Roost Signature Double Oak Bourbon is finished in proprietary casks that were lightly charred and precision-toasted for optimum flavor extraction.
“Since the beginning, all of our whiskeys have been double oaked,” says Buzzard’s Roost co-founder and CEO Judy Hollis Jones. “Our new Signature Double Oak Bourbon was finished in our own bourbon casks, resulting in layers of flavor that make this bourbon one of our most delicious and approachable yet.”
“All of our proprietary casks are specially toasted to coax out the most desirable flavors,” says Buzzard’s Roost co-founder and Master Blender Jason Brauner. “Our toast profiles turn our barrels into our version of a spice rack,’ allowing us to create blended whiskeys that deliver complex flavors.”
Offering aromas of roasted nuts and subtle hints of cinnamon, Buzzard’s Roost Signature Double Oak Bourbon delivers rich flavors of savory vanilla and roasted almonds, balanced with gentle spice. At 100 proof and a price point of $45 SRP, Buzzard’s Roost Signature Double Oak Bourbon is a great sipper and will raise the bar on any cocktail.
Buzzard’s Roost Signature Double Oak Bourbon will be available nationally and the first bottles will be released on April 17 at Buzzard’s Roost Whiskey Row Distillery and Tasting Room. The bourbon has a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley.
