Blue Run Kentucky Straight Cask Strength Rye (2021 Holiday Edition)

This comes in at a delightful 106 proof. The immediate when opened is apples and baking spices. A dessert in a bottle. I get notes of brown sugar, maple syrup, cherries, and everything great about the holidays. I really like what Blue Run has done with Rye Whiskey.

Neat… nose is nice. Nice sweet flavor, then spiced cherry then heat on back of tongue. I like it. A lot of character, nice drinker. Price is questionable.

The question with Blue Run is always "is it worth it?". In this case, I'd say probably not but it's still a damn good rye.

This is a pretty tasty rye, light on spice and easy to drink this is dangerous stuff. On the sweeter side with notes of cherry. Love it.
