# Toasted French Oak Bourbons This Bourbon is Finished In Seasoned Casks From the Limousin Region By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2022-01-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-bourbon References: [thewhiskeywash](https://thewhiskeywash.com/whiskey-styles/bourbon/buzzards-roost-introduces-new-toasted-french-oak-bourbon/) & [buzzardsroostwhiskey](https://www.buzzardsroostwhiskey.com/home)  Buzzard's Roost Whiskey, a woman-led whiskey company based in Louisville, Kentucky, has launched a brand new Toasted French Oak Bourbon that makes use of five-year-old Indiana bourbon that is finished in a two-year seasoned oak from the historical south-central French region of Limousin. The Toasted French Oak Bourbon therefore takes advantage of the ultra-fine grain material of the French oak, which gives the final product a finely balanced flavor. The end result is a bourbon that has aromas of toasted oak, as its name might suggest, as well as caramel. As far as the flavor is concerned, this bourbon strikes a delightful balance between sweetness and notes of spice. Made in a limited run of five barrels, this bourbon can be obtained for a price of $85 per bottle.
