New on the shelf: Penelope Classic Series Rye & Buzzard’s Roost Double Oak
🥃 Penelope Classic Series Rye
This Rye keeps it simple - there’s no age statement but rumor has it there’s some real age hiding in here. Nose of spearmint and citrus then barrel char squares off with wintergreen and clove on the palate. Bold, a little unexpected, priced right.
🥃 Buzzard’s Roost Signature Double Oak Bourbon
Made by Jason Brauner, the Louisville bar guy behind Bourbon’s Bistro who decided to start making the stuff instead of just pouring it. The move is double oaking - aged in new American oak, then finished in Buzzard’s own proprietary bourbon barrels for extra depth. Toasted pecan and cinnamon on the nose, vanilla and ginger on the palate, finishing warm on cinnamon and brown sugar. Reviewers call it a “confident, well-rounded sipper.”
Two different wh***eys, two new reasons to stop by!
