Rye
Buzzard Roost
Louisville, KY
$80
95% rye, 5% barley
Nose
Butterscotch, sweet and sexy, Werther's butterscotch-forward
Palate
Dripping butterscotch and honey butterscotch coating the entire tongue, nutty undertones like toasted pistachio or peanut brittle, hint of smoke from toasted barrel without overpowering, not deeply charred
Finish
Viscous and mouth-coating, lingering butterscotch and toasted notes
Impressive
An exceptional toasted barrel expression that masterfully balances Werther's butterscotch sweetness with subtle nuttiness and oak, representing a showstopper in the Buzzard Roost lineup.
