Anyone tried Cigar Rye?

Buzzard’s Roost Cigar Rye is four-year-old Indiana rye that is finished in new American oak barrels that were cold-smoked with aged tobacco leaves grown in Kentucky. The cold-smoking and proprietary toast level of the barrels used for secondary maturation results in a rye whiskey that offers the delicate sweet and smoky aromas of a fine cigar.

“Our first batch of Cigar Rye was a bit of an experiment,” said Buzzard’s Roost Master Blender Jason Brauner. “We produced three barrels and people went wild for it,” said. “Our second batch was released in 2022 and it sold out fast. We’re excited to bring it back, and we made about five times as much as we did in 2022!”

The mash bill for Buzzard’s Roost Cigar Rye remains the same at 95% rye and 5% malted barley, and the ABV is 52.5%. The SRP is $75.99, and Cigar Rye will move into national distribution in mid-October.

No. Haven’t seen it around on shelves. Would certainly give it a try at least once.

Looks like a few shops have it in stock in KY.  If I see one in my area, I'd prob pick one up

It’s quite spicey on the pricing, considering it’s just a finished 4yr old MGP rye. At least it’s got some proof on it, I would at least want to try a pour because it sounds interesting.

Yes, don't do it. It just another 4 year MGPi (Indiana) rye whiskey. You can find much older and better for your coin.

Anyone else notice how bad he torched his cigar? You’d think for the photo they would be a little more careful
