The Toast Is the Point
Buzzard's Roost doesn't distill — it perfects. The independent Louisville blender works with a cooperage to build proprietary 53-gallon barrels to an exact toast profile, very lightly charred, then rests its sourced Indiana bourbon in them for just a few weeks before bottling. The Toasted American Oak expression — released for the brand's third anniversary — is that philosophy at its sweetest: confectionery and baking spice from the toast layered over two complementary mash bills, one high-corn, one high-rye.

Tasting Notes
Nose of caramel, coconut and intense vanilla with sweet candy and floral notes. The palate moves from sweet toasted-oak notes to baking spice and confectionery. A finish of butterscotch, toasted oak, vanilla wafer and coconut.
How to Enjoy
Superb on its own — the toasted finish was designed for sipping. It also makes a standout classic whiskey cocktail, where the coconut and butterscotch notes play beautifully with bitters.
