Buzzard’s Roost Sippin’ Whiskey recently won a gold medal for its Single Barrel Rye Whiskey, 105 proof, at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This is the brand’s first entry into the prestigious competition and the first time winning high honors in the “Rye Whiskey” category.
“I’ve always been a bourbon fan and prefer a rye that captures flavor notes often found in bourbon, like vanilla and cinnamon,” said Jason Brauner, Master Blender of Buzzard’s Roost. “We’re able to impart those flavors to our whiskey through our innovative aging process.”
Buzzard’s Roost uses proprietary barrels each charred to a specific temperature in order to create certain flavor profiles. Once the whiskey is selected, it is re-barreled using the special barrels and aged in Kentucky warehouses.
Buzzard’s Roost Sippin’ Whiskeys portfolio are distributed throughout Kentucky and includes Single Barrel and Very Small Batch rye whiskey expressions.
