Blue Run High Rye Bourbon

Blue Run Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon Whiskey is a bourbon produced by Blue Run Spirits. It is their first product with Jim Rutledge overseeing production, and was contract-distilled at Castle & Key.

Before this release, all past Blue Run expressions had been sourced from various Kentucky distilleries. 100 barrels were selected for this 4-year old release, and Rutledge hinted at future, older bottlings from the same distillate.

“For a four-year-old Bourbon, I’m impressed with the quality of this release, and I look forward to evaluating the subsequent releases of these barrels – after additional maturation.”
– Jim Rutledge
