Buzzard's Roost Toasted Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey

Buzzard's Roost Toasted Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey 105 Proof showcases the art of barrel finishing with a unique twist. After being aged in traditional barrels, this rye whiskey undergoes additional maturation in specially toasted barrels, which infuses the spirit with deeper, richer flavors of caramel, vanilla, and warm spices. The toasted oak enhances the rye's naturally bold and spicy profile, resulting in a whiskey that is both complex and smooth at 105 proof.

This expression from Buzzard's Roost offers an elevated take on straight rye, with the toasted barrel finish adding layers of depth to an already robust spirit. Whether sipped neat or enjoyed in a rye-forward cocktail, this whiskey brings a satisfying blend of spice and sweetness to the glass.

Nose: Inviting aromas of caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla, with subtle hints of black pepper, baking spices, and rye grain.

Palate: Bold and rich, with flavors of toasted nuts, cinnamon, and dark chocolate, balanced by sweeter notes of honey, caramel, and vanilla. The mid-palate showcases a perfect balance of rye spice and oak tannins.

Buzzard's Roost Toasted Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey pairs well with hearty dishes such as smoked meats, braised short ribs, or grilled sausages.

For a savory pairing, try it alongside a charcuterie board with sharp cheeses and cured meats.
