Blue Note Bourbon, crafted to honor the blues music that is synonymous with Memphis, launched its first Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey.

Born in Kentucky and crafted in Memphis, the new limited release features a classic mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, was aged a minimum of four years and then bottled between 116-124 proof, unfiltered. 

Blue Note Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is now available for purchase online at BlueNoteBourbon.com and at select retailers in 20 U.S. states (listed below). The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle is $49.95.

Blue Note’s whiskey portfolio is distilled in partnership with Lofted Spirits (formerly Bardstown Bourbon Company and parent company of Green River Distilling) and then aged just north of downtown Memphis where the Mississippi and Wolf Rivers collide. The long summers filled with infamous Memphis heat and cooler evenings forces the whiskey deep into the oak, creating an unmistakably rich flavor that’s bold yet smooth.

The Blue Note portfolio features the brand’s award-winning flagship Juke Joint ($34.99), Crossroads ($44.99), Uncut ($49.99), and Straight Rye Whiskey ($34.99).  

Production Facility & Tasting Room

Blue Note’s 110,000 square foot production facilities, located on Royal Avenue just North of downtown Memphis, are open from Monday through Friday from 10am – 4:00pm CST and include a unique and intimate tasting room. Guided tours are available on Thursdays and Fridays for $10 plus tax & fees. Guests can add a Tasting Flight Experience for an additional $5.
