Buzzard’s Roost Toasted Barrel Rye

3 to 3 1/2 years old; finished in proprietary proprietary barrels that feature custom toast profiles. Sweet and winey on the nose, underneath that showcasing some brooding notes of cloves, asphalt, and a touch of almost acrid black pepper. The palate is distinctly youthful with raw granary character, but its filtered through some interesting elements that lift it up brown butter, Christmas spice, brandied cherries.
