Description
Blue Run 13 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a premium small-release Kentucky straight bourbon that helped establish Blue Run Spirits as a serious name in modern American whiskey. The bottle is generally associated with Blue Run’s 2020 debut bourbon release, a 13-year-old expression bottled at 113 proof / 56.5% ABV in 750ml format. Contemporary reviews and bottle databases describe it as a limited release of around 2,600 bottles, selected with guidance from bourbon veteran Jim Rutledge, the longtime former master distiller of Four Roses.
In terms of flavor profile, this bourbon is best positioned as a mature, high-proof, oak-rich sipping bourbon rather than a soft or entry-level pour. Reviews from Wine Enthusiast, WhiskyCast, and Whiskybase consistently describe a profile built around vanilla, cocoa, caramel, baking spice, toasted oak, dark fruit, and cherry, with some tasters also noting tobacco, leather, black chocolate, cinnamon candy, brown sugar, and a long spice-driven finish. That combination makes it read like a classic well-aged Kentucky bourbon with both sweetness and structure: enough oak and spice to feel serious, but still layered with dessert-like notes and dark fruit richness.
If you’re writing catalog copy, the cleanest positioning is: a limited-release 13-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 113 proof, offering a bold and mature profile of vanilla, caramel, cocoa, dark fruit, black cherry, cinnamon, and toasted oak. It fits best as a premium sipping bourbon, collector-friendly limited release, or giftable high-end American whiskey.
