Blue Run Reflections II

Aromas of cooked dark fruits, prunes, figs, raisin bread, and cola, with brighter red fruit notes and chocolate soufflé as it develops in the glass.

Black Button Tequila Barrel Finished Bourbon Tasting Notes

Nose: A bright bouquet of warm spices and rich cocoa immediately dominates the olfactory senses and serves as a precursor to this engaging experience.

Palate: The first sip reveals bountiful orange peel that harmonizes with farm fresh honey followed by fresh toasted oak and tantalizing salted caramel blondies. As the palate remains preoccupied with the mid-note flavor sensations.

Finish: A complex finish is revealed led by spicy citrus oils that evolve into barrel spice and churros sprinkled with powdered sugar and a dash of cayenne.

Distillery Information

Blue Run Spirits is a recently established Kentucky Bourbon and Rye whiskey producer noted for its popular, limited releases. It is based in Georgetown, Kentucky. The company is headed-up by entrepreneur Mike Montgomery and none of the founders of the brand have a background in Bourbon or whiskey production, covering fields in design, IT, hospitality, politics and philanthropy. Blue Run (named for the Kentucky Royal Spring waterway) has modeled its whiskey release strategy on the high-end sneaker market. Very limited runs of each release are heralded via email and social media, with a significant tranche of mail-order releases, partnerships with high-end retailers for physical sales and each run sporting a distinctive version of the brand's butterfly motif. Releases frequently sell out. Blue Run also hires Jim Rutledge, a highly regarded master distiller (formerly master distiller at Four Roses), to serve as an advisor. Rutledge helps select barrels and oversees blending and proofing.
