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.

Dakota Albert 3.5

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.

Annika Bell 3.8

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

Jerry Witt 3.8

A whiskey gathering!
