Buzzard's Roost Char #1 Bourbon Whiskey
Char #1 Bourbon is named for the barrel that defines Buzzard's Roost, the Louisville, Kentucky blender founded by Judy Hollis Jones and Jason Brauner. Almost all bourbon barrels are charred to level #3 or #4; Buzzard's Roost has its cooperage build new 53-gallon barrels with a custom toast profile and the lightest possible char, level #1, so the whiskey pulls toasted-sugar and spice flavors from the wood rather than heavy smoke and charcoal. This release, which marked the company's third anniversary in July 2022, is a four-year-old straight bourbon distilled at MGP in Indiana from a 59% corn, 36% rye, 5% malted barley mash bill, then finished in those proprietary char #1 barrels at Bardstown Bourbon Company before bottling at 105 proof (52.5% ABV). The first run was 250 cases. Buzzard's Roost describes a nose of brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla, a palate that balances woody notes against cherry and dark fruit, and a long, rounded finish of fruit and vanilla with a little spice. The high-rye recipe keeps it drier and spicier than the wheated crowd, and 105 proof is enough to stand up in a Manhattan.
