There is lots of depth on the palate, with baked fruits including red apples and raspberries interwoven by savory spice and jalapeno pepper heat, followed by a fairly long finish.
Utilizing tobacco smoke finished barrels, Buzzard's Roost Cigar Rye Batch 3 brings a new twist to what you think you may know about how cigar barrel whiskeys should taste.
