Blue Run Spirits announced the release of a limited-edition commemorative bottle honoring the 40th anniversary of the Chicago Bears’ 1985 season.

The commemorative Blue Run Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon Whiskey bottles were designed in partnership with the Chicago Bears, one of the two remaining original NFL franchises. Each of the limited-edition bottles carries a custom viceroy butterfly medallion and label design inspired by the Monsters of the Midway, with the exclusive packaging proudly identifying Blue Run as “The Official Bourbon of The Chicago Bears.”

“Few teams in sports history have left as lasting a legacy as the 1985 Chicago Bears,” Katy McBrady, General Manager, Blue Run Spirits, said in a news release. “We are honored to collaborate with the Bears organization to celebrate this milestone anniversary with fans in the heart of Bears Country. This limited-edition release not only raises a glass to the historic season but also honors the tradition and spirit of the Bears’ remarkable franchise.”

The commemorative release of Blue Run’s Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 111 proof and has an SRP of $89.99. 

Throughout the season, the Chicago Bears will be celebrating the 40th Anniversary of their legendary Super Bowl win. Blue Run has partnered to design a classic commemorative package with creative nods to the team’s historic standing and unforgettable season.

Blue Run award-winning bourbon and rye whiskies are produced through time-honored traditions, delivering artistry in whiskey through innovation, creativity, and master blending, led by Head of Whiskey Development and Innovation, Shaylyn Gammon. The distinctive whiskeys are housed in elegant packaging adorned with Blue Run’s signature Viceroy butterfly medallion, which represents the metamorphosis of a centuries-old industry as Blue Run reaches across the bar to welcome today’s younger, and more diverse whiskey drinkers.

Blue Run’s Chicago Bears Commemorative High Rye Bourbon limited-edition bottles will be available in October through Binny’s Beverage Depot, Jewel-Osco, Costco, and other fine retailers in Illinois, as well as Seelbach’s.
