Buzzard’s Roost Releases Two Double-Oaked Single Barrel Bourbons

 to Mark 5th Anniversary

 

7-Year Old and 11-Year Old Double-Oaked Bourbons Will Be Released Aug. 17 at Whiskey Row


Limited Number Available Online

 

Aug. 13, 2024 – Louisville, Kentucky – In Summer 2019, when Buzzard’s Roost began with three barrels of rye, Cofounders Judy Hollis Jones and Jason Brauner already had long-range vision (like buzzards do!), leading them to purchase several barrels of aged bourbon to put down for a special day. That day is now here!

 

Buzzard’s Roost will release Founders Seven-Year-Old Straight Bourbon ($125) and 11-Year Old Straight Bourbon ($150) at its Whiskey Row Experience at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17. A limited number of bottles will be available as pre-sale online.

Both bourbons are double-oaked, undergoing secondary maturation in Buzzard’s Roost’s signature, new Char #1 oak barrels that were precision-toasted to coax out very specific flavors from the wood. From Day One, Buzzard’s Roost’s point of difference has been its proprietary secondary maturation – or double-barreling - process that leads to rare flavor profiles not found in any other whiskeys.

 

“These are some of the most exciting bourbons we’ve produced,” says Buzzard’s Roost Master Blender Jason Brauner. “We bought barrels of aged bourbon and then spent considerable time determining the exact toast profile for the second barrels, to result in the best flavors. They started as excellent bourbons, and both aged beautifully, evolving into even better bourbons.”

 

As for the long-range vision, CEO Judy Hollis Jones notes that the brand is now in 23 markets (including Canada) and has earned the respect of the most discerning palates. Wine Enthusiast gave Buzzard’s Roost’s new Bottled in Bond Bourbon 95 points, while Toasted French Oak Bourbon received 94 points. Buzzard’s Roost Char #1 Rye was named Best American Rye in the International Whisky Competition, while Toasted American Oak Bourbon was named Best Bourbon in the 2024 Barleycorn Awards.

 

“The accolades mean a lot to a young craft brand like Buzzard’s Roost,” says Hollis Jones. “But what means the most is sharing these whiskeys with friends and customers and watching our brand grow, reaching new whiskey lovers who keep the momentum going.”

 

Both Bourbons share the same mash bill: 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley. The 7 Year Old Bourbon is 109.2 proof, and the 11 Year Old Bourbon is 113.8 proof. Guests can try before they buy at the Buzzard’s Roost Whiskey Row Experience, with pours available for purchase at the bar, and both will be included in tasting flights while supplies last.

 

About Buzzard’s Roost: Buzzard’s Roost Sipping Whiskey is an independent blender, bottler and distiller of exceptional whiskeys crafted using pioneering techniques. Buzzard’s Roost whiskeys are created using a combination of break-through techniques for secondary maturation including 18-month-seasoned oak barrels for intensified flavors and exclusive use of Char #1 over very specific toast levels to coax complex flavors from each barrel, leading to rye whiskeys and bourbons with flavors unlike any other.

Main Street in downtown Louisville. All Buzzard’s Roost whiskeys are second-barrel aged and bottled at Bardstown Bourbon Company. Buzzard’s Roost is proud to be a woman-led company.

Hi, I’ve always enjoyed trying new bourbons, and reading about these limited-time single barrel releases sounded exciting. After spending some time researching tasting notes, I needed a fun distraction, so I tried https://plinko.com.my. I started cautiously and lost a few rounds, but after taking a slightly bigger risk I hit a nice win that lifted my mood. What made it even better is that players from Malaysia get special bonuses, which adds an extra layer of excitement. It’s become my little way to relax before diving back into bourbon reviews.

I was on a Goa beach stroll when a backpacker showed me aviator pinup. The retro interface felt like beach shacks lining Calangute. I placed my first bets and lost, then switched to a steady mid-range multiplier and nailed a cash-out that covered my scooter rental. The extra credit funded a sunset coconut water. That moment felt as laid-back yet satisfying as lounging on Goa’s golden sands.
