Georgetown, Kentucky-based Blue Run Spirits announced a special collection of 8-Year-Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys. The collection hails from ten six-year-old barrels that received a final aging of two years in the “sweet spot” of a second rickhouse to create additional harmony and balance.

Blue Run 8-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbons are now available at select fine spirits retailers and at http://www.bluerunspirits.com/shop starting Friday, Oct. 6 at 3 pm Eastern.

The bourbon found in Blue Run 8-Year-Old Single Barrel will be familiar to many, as it was one of the whiskeys featured in the recently released Blue Run Trifecta, which received a Double Gold Medal and was named a finalist for the Best Straight Bourbon in the 2023 New York Wine and Spirits Competition.

The barrels standing on their own in this eight-year-old expression were hand selected by Blue Run Liquid Advisor Jim Rutledge. The last two years of their aging journey were spent on Floor 3 of Warehouse G at Bardstown Bourbon Company.

“Floor 3 is what I would call the sweet spot of Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Warehouse G,” said Coors Spirits Co. Head of Whiskey Development and Innovation Shaylyn Gammon.

Blue Run 8-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon features a mash bill of 75% yellow corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley. It is aged in barrels with a #3 char level and arrives at barrel strength in ten separate bottlings ranging from 116 to 124.4 proof.

Blue Run 8-Year-Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is available at $249.99 for a 750ml. For this release, Blue Run’s signature butterfly medallion is barrel oak inlayed in an elegant gold-hued placard. The bottle also stands out with its weighted gold decanter top and black and gold bottle certification strip, making this special release a prominent figure on any bar cart or back bar.

Georgetown, Kentucky-based Blue Run Spirits was founded in 2020 and was named one of the 50 most innovative companies in America by Bloomberg. Blue Run was acquired by Coors Spirits Co., the spirits division of Molson Coors Beverage Co. (NYSE:TAP), in August 2023.
