Buzzard’s Roost Whiskey announced the release of a new, limited edition Cigar Rye finished in American oak barrels that were cold-smoked with aged tobacco leaves grown in Kentucky. Borne from the barrel alchemy for which Buzzard’s Roost’s is known, the result is a rye whiskey that integrates the sweet, smoky aromas of a fine cigar.

Jason Brauner, co-founder and master blender for Buzzard’s Roost, chose a four-year-old Indiana rye for finishing in Char 1 barrels which were toasted to coax out flavors that would pair well with the aged cigar tobacco.

The mash bill is comprised of 95 percent rye and 5 percent malted barley. Only three barrels were produced, and Cigar Rye was bottled at 105 proof. The SRP per 750ml bottle is $75.
