I had anticipated it would be a great bottle/discovery. It was just adequate. Interesting to experience, but then to move on and explore other options.

About this bottle
Buzzard's Roost, an independent bottler and blender, presents this Straight Bourbon, which is a blend of 4 and 5-year-old bourbons sourced from Indiana's MGP Distillery and double-barreled. Two distinct bourbon mash bills are used: 59% corn, 36% rye, 5% malted barley, and 74% corn, 21% rye, 5% malted barley. The combined bourbon was then finished in a toasted American oak barrel and bottled at 105 proof. This release, celebrating the brand's third anniversary alongside another bottling, had 530 cases available starting in July 2022.

A slight burn on the finish, otherwise quite smooth. Hints of butterscotch, coconut, and vanilla.
A whiskey gathering!
