Buzzard Roost Very Small Batch Rye
105 proof 3 years Rye Buzzard Roost Louisville, KY $50 95% rye, 5% barley
Nose

Candied orange, juniper berry, citrus, light chocolate

Palate

Upfront sweetness, very smooth and mellow, flavorful despite young age, orange marmalade on a biscuit quality

Finish

Good roundness with quality beyond what you'd expect for a three-year-old whiskey

Above average
A well-crafted entry-level rye that proves a bourbon drinker can easily gravitate toward higher-rye expressions through careful secondary barrel maturation.
