References: buzzardsroostwhiskey & bevnet
Buzzard’s Roost Distillery has introduced a new limited-edition single-barrel rye whiskey, uniquely curated by its dedicated fan community — the Ambuzzadors. This five-year-old, barrel-strength rye undergoes an 18-month secondary maturation in the distillery’s signature lightly charred and custom-toasted barrels. The result is a 115-proof expression.
The release of the limited-edition single-barrel rye whiskey exemplifies the brand’s commitment to fan engagement, as the Ambuzzadors, a loyal membership group, are invited twice yearly to participate in exclusive barrel selections at the Louisville-based distillery. These enthusiasts enjoy first access to the chosen whiskey, alongside perks like free shipping, early product announcements, and invitations to virtual and in-person tastings.
Buzzard’s Roost Distillery's single-barrel rye whiskey will be available to the general public on June 14. The launch will be accompanied by a celebratory event on Whiskey Row.
