The transition in color from gold to copper-red is the result of many years of maturation in high-quality oak wood. In the glass, the whiskey unfolds sensual aromas of spices, rye, and wood. The woody warmth transfers from the nose to the taste buds. During tasting, the rye components gain assertiveness, embodying the essence of this seductive creation. In addition to rye, spicy accents are present. The finish is enduring, solid, and slowly fades away. A few drops of water or ice cubes bring the Buzzard's Roost Barrel Strength Straight Rye Batch 4 Whiskey to drinking strength.
