Buzzard's Roost Cigar Blend Bourbon

Buzzard's Roost Cigar Blend Bourbon is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from Louisville, bottled at 52.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) and 105 proof. Aged for six years, this limited-time release revives one of Buzzard's Roost's most popular offerings, bringing back the cigar-inspired character that fans of the brand have long admired.

What makes it special is its double oak maturation process. After years in new oak barrels, the bourbon was re-casked into proprietary, lightly charred, heavily toasted barrels for secondary aging. This unique treatment allowed the whiskey to mellow while developing subtle smoky aromas and layers of sweet caramel and baking spice, resulting in a long, memorable finish.

The flavor profile is distinctive, balancing the sweetness of corn with the spice of rye and the depth of toasted oak. Its mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley ensures complexity, while the secondary maturation adds richness and a cigar-friendly character. Buzzard's Roost Cigar Blend Bourbon pairs beautifully with a fine cigar, enhancing the smoky and sweet interplay of flavors.

It is equally enjoyable neat or with a splash of water, and complements foods such as smoked meats, aged cheeses, and spiced desserts. Its timing makes it an ideal choice for fall gatherings, holiday celebrations, or as a thoughtful gift for bourbon enthusiasts.
