if you\u2019re like me, you\u2019ve probably seen Buzzard\u2019s Roost on the shelf and wondered what the story was. Now that they\u2019re releasing a new American Whiskey at a lower price point, it\u2019s time for me to learn.<\/p>\n

Buzzard\u2019s Roost is part of the ever-growing population of independent blenders who purchase aged whiskey, throw it in a non-whiskey barrel (sherry, port, etc.), then blend and bottle it. And while many of these start to feel the same, Buzzard\u2019s Roost takes a novel <\/strong><\/a>approach<\/strong><\/a> to their secondary aging. <\/p>\n

\n

Created using a combination of break-through techniques for second barrel maturation including 18-month-seasoned oak barrels for intensified flavors and exclusive use of Char #1 over very specific toast levels to coax complex flavors from each barrel.<\/p>\n

From Buzzard\u2019s Roost<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Char #1 and toasting aren\u2019t necessarily better or worse than anything else, but at least they\u2019re a calling card for the brand, creating a level of consistency while still allowing for variety.<\/p>\n

Buzzard\u2019s Roost American Whiskey<\/h3>\n

Buzzard\u2019s Roost American Whiskey starts as one of MGP\u2019s high-rye bourbons (75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley) and is aged at least 3 years. The finish used differentiates this new offering even further. Instead of using barrels that have never held whiskey, Buzzards Roost picked from their stockpile of barrels that they\u2019ve previously used. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe had great fun creating our first American Whiskey. We had our pick of our own whiskey-soaked barrels and the flavor profiles that each was designed for. We think we\u2019ve come up with something that\u2019s delicious as a sipper and will elevate any whiskey cocktail .\u201d<\/p>\n

Buzzard\u2019s Roost Master Blender Jason Brauner<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The usage of second-fill barrels has a few interesting effects. It saves money by using barrels more than once, creates new flavor profiles from multiple liquids, and prevents it from being called bourbon.<\/p>\n

The price point is $50, down from Buzzard\u2019s <\/strong><\/a>Roost\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> average offering of around $75. Their primary target is on-premise, industry speak for bars, which is always an excellent way to try it before you buy it. Or at least before you buy all of it.<\/p>\n
