To celebrate “Bourbon Hunting Season,” Buzzard’s Roost is launching its first gift pack — the Char #1 Duo Gift Set — and four exciting bundles of rare bottles for whiskey lovers who are on the hunt for rare flavor profiles and hard-to-find bottles. Below is a run-down of what is available on the Buzzard’s Roost bourbon-hunting trail.

The Char #1 Duo Gift Set: A boxed gift pack of two 375ml bottles of Buzzard’s Roost’s most popular whiskeys: Char #1 Bourbon and Char #1 Rye. ($75).

A Buzzard’s Roost first, this gift set is available at Whiskey Row and online and at retailers across the country. Bundles available include:

Bourbon & Rye Hunters Bundle: $275 each (10 available; online only). This is a trio of unique bourbons including:

  • Kindred Collaboration Small Batch Bourbon – Created by Buzzard’s roost lead distiller Ethan Spalding and his dad Chad, a long-time exec in the cooperage industry, this is a 5 YO bourbon finished in one of Buzzard’s Roost specially toasted barrels – that happens to also be a wave stave barrel.
  • Ambuzzadors Select Single Barrel Bourbon A panel of our most loyal fans, known as Ambuzzadors, met at Whiskey Row in August to taste and evaluate eight barrel samples. This is the one they loved the most. Initially available only to Ambuzzadors, we found five bottles in these three-packs.
  • Peated Rye – This early release from Buzzard’s Roost offers a very subtle smoky/peppery note from cold-smoking barrels with real peat.

Festival Pack: We’ve pulled 10 each of two specially selected single-barrel bourbons that were exclusively bottled for two of the most popular bourbon festivals: the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and New Orleans Bourbon Festival. $225 per 2-pack online only).

Toast the Season 3-Pack: With Toasted French Oak Bourbon currently sold out and not slated for re-release until 2025, this trio of bottles is for those who love toasted-barrel whiskies. Six are available for $260 each (online only)

  • Toasted French Oak Bourbon
  • Toasted American Oak Bourbon
  • Toasted Barrel Rye

Winning Whiskeys 4-Pack: We’ve assembled four of our most-awarded whiskeys for the ultimate Buzzard’s Roost vertical. $245 each (online only).

  • Bottled in Bond Wheated Bourbon – Awarded 95 points by Wine Enthusiast and rated #2 in the world by the World Whiskey Awards
  • Char #1 Rye – Rated #1 craft rye in the world by the World Whiskey Awards
  • American Whiskey – Double Gold from Barleycorn Awards and Gold in San Francisco World Spirits Competition
  • Toasted American Oak Bourbon – Awarded 93 points by Wine Enthusiast and Best Bourbon from Barleycorn Award

“Now is when people are on the hunt for gifts and bottles to share with friends and family for the fall entertaining and holiday season,” Buzzard’s Roost CEO Judy Hollis Jones said in a news release. “In addition to our first boxed gift-set, we’ve assembled four unique bottle bundles of rare whiskeys that are hard-to-impossible to find out in the wild. We wish everyone good luck on their bourbon hunting.”
