Buzzard's Roost Char #1 Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
Crafted from 4-year-old sourced whiskey, this Buzzard's Roost release is aged in the distillery's "signature" charred barrels, imbuing the spirit with an undisputably unique character. On the nose, dark sugar, molasses, and charred notes intermingle, while the palate delivers toasty and drying tannins that complement the whiskey's rich flavor profile. Bottled at a robust 52.5 percent ABV, this bourbon can be sipped over ice or mixed in a cocktail. Start with a classic Old Fashioned.
