Memphis-based Blue Note Bourbon has brought back its 17-Year Barrel Proof Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey for the first time since 2022.

Bottled at barrel proof, Blue Note 17-Year features a mash bill of 70% corn, 22% rye and 8% malted barley, and was finished at 119 proof (59.5% ABV), unfiltered.

“We’re excited to bring back a 17-Year whiskey which reflects the patience, craftsmanship and time required to create something truly special,” Chris Crosbie, Chief Executive Officer, B.R. Distilling Co., said in a news release “It has been several years since we’ve released an expression of this caliber, making this limited release a rare opportunity for collectors and discerning whiskey enthusiasts to experience this remarkable expression which reflects the depth, character and complexity that comes with extended aging.”

Approximately 4,000 bottles of 17-Year are available online via Seelbach’s (beginning November 20) and in select U.S. markets for the suggested retail price of $174.99.

Blue Note’s whiskey portfolio is distilled in partnership with Lofted Spirits (parent company of Green River Distilling Company) 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 force the whiskey deep into the oak, creating an unmistakably rich flavor that’s bold, yet smooth.

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 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. CT and include a unique and intimate tasting room. Guided tours including a tasting are available on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for $20 plus tax & fees.
