About Buzzard’s Roost Spirits:

Buzzard’s Roost Spirits is a woman-led independent whiskey blender and bottler founded in 2019 by Judy Hollis Jones and Jason Brauner. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the brand is renowned for its "barrel alchemy," using proprietary secondary maturation techniques to create unique flavor profiles in sourced bourbons and ryes.

Core Crafting Techniques

• Proprietary Barrels: They use Independent Stave Company barrels featuring Char #1—a light char level that allows easier access to the oak's influence.
• Seasoned Oak: The oak for their barrels is seasoned for at least 18 months, significantly longer than the industry standard of six months, to intensify flavors.
• Custom Toast Profiles: They employ specific toasting levels to "coax out" rare flavor combinations like confectionery and baking spices.

   

Primary Products

The portfolio centers on double-oaked expressions, typically bottled at Bardstown Bourbon Company.

• Bourbons: Includes the Signature Double Oak ($45.99), Barrel Strength Bourbon ($79.99), and Char #1 Bourbon ($64.99).
• Ryes: Popular releases include the Toasted Barrel Rye ($71.99) and the award-winning Single Barrel Rye.
• Specialty Spirits: They offer unique bottlings like Cigar Blend Bourbon, Smoked Barrel Rye, and Bottled in Bond expressions.
