Blue Run High Rye Bourbon (750mL)
Blue Run Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon is a small-batch whiskey and is the first Blue Run product with Bourbon Hall of Famer Jim Rutledge serving as the contracted Master Distiller. Rutledge distilled this batch at Castle & Key Distillery.
âFor a four-year-old Bourbon, Iâm impressed with the quality of this release, and I look forward to evaluating the subsequent releases of these barrels â after additional maturation,â said Jim Rutledge.
Blue Run Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon is distilled from a 65% Yellow Corn, 30% Rye, 5% Malted Barley mash bill. Just 100 carefully selected barrels were chosen for this bottling, each toasted to a #4 alligator char and aged in Frankfort and Bardstown, KY. Blue Run High Rye Bourbon clocks in at 111 proof.
