Blue Run 13 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Magnificent for the price- granted a lot of that price is for the marketing, but wow this was a great find!

Typical wonderful bourbon smell of vanilla. Somehow some floral fruit in there. Incredible velvety texture. “Dusty” and musty like 80s bourbon according to bartender. Spicy finish. Doesn’t smell spicy but doesn’t have that weird burn like some spice does for me. Must be some rye in here.

Good whiskey, garbage marketing. NOSE: Oaky, deep dark fruit, roasted nuts, spice mustiness, vanilla cupcakes, toffee, spice touch char and citrus. Oaky and heady aroma deepened with spice and dark sweets. Blue Run Bourbon smells wonderful… this is bourbon. PALATE: Caramel, oak, dark fruit, leather, hazelnut, spice, vanilla cupcakes, toffee, spice, char citrus, earthy and herbal with a bit of menthol on end. So much complex earthiness here, the Blue Run Bourbon palate is just plain good. Warm and inviting, it carries a bit more darkly sweet notes than the aroma. FINISH: Long -> Oak, herbal, citrus, fruit, char, spice in a long warm fade that turns to cocoa and mint.
