From Jason Brauner, owner of Louisville’s Bourbons Bistro, the original OG Louisville Bourbon bar and restaurant, comes Buzzard’s Roost, an incrementally innovative and relatively straightforward and transparent bourbon brand utilizing mostly MGP juice and bottling unfiltered whiskies. Their #1 Char bourbon is finished in the LOWEST level char possible and presents a sweet nutty nose with hints of Sweetarts candies and orchard fruit. On the palate the perfectly drinkable 105 proof drops the chewy, grainy, sweet caramel apple note that was WAY better than I expected.
