Blue Run Alpine Meadows Bourbon Whiskey

Distilled at Castle & Key with direct oversight from Jim Rutledge (listed as Master Distiller for this batch), and blended by Shaylyn Gammon for Blue Run, this is the new Flight Series from the brand. Blue Run has been in the news left and right lately, from the announcement of their own distilling facility to a recent, major, financing deal, so it's no surprise they've elected to roll with the "good news in threes" principle. Today's review covers the not-yet-released Flight Series - a new collection of micro batches coming soon from the brand that seek to demonstrate what a small (ahem, micro) batch really should be, and their blending chops as a company helmed by one Shaylyn Gammon, previously of Wild Turkey. Comprised of at least two barrels, but never more than 5, the canvas is well defined for Blue Run's team. This specific micro batch was distilled using a mash of 65% Yellow Corn, 30% rye and 5% malted barley, was fermented using C&K Yeast #927 and matured entirely in #4 (alligator) char barrels. The scenery looks a bit different here as I carried this bottle to Greece so I could share my review with you all well ahead of the launch. Let's dive in.
