Buzzard's Roost (Batch 1), 52.5%

Baking spice, vanilla soft serve, crème brûlée, and more sweet notes make for an inviting nose. That sweetness persists on the palate, though it grows more spiced and fruity—there’s cinnamon, applesauce, baked red apple, and a dollop of honey. While it holds its proof well on its own, water expands it beautifully, bringing out even more fresh fruit. The finish is spicy, sweet, and dry, calling to mind dried apples and apple-cinnamon oatmeal.
