The name is doing the selling. Bottom-third reviews at a top-third price. Breaking Bourbon gives it 3/5, right in line with the typical bourbon (357 rated). The Bourbon Culture gives it 7.3/10, vs. 7.8/10 for the typical bourbon (473 rated). Thin data, two sources.
Blue Run High Rye Bourbon Whiskey is a small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon from Blue Run Spirits, contract distilled at Castle & Key Distillery under the direction of Bourbon Hall of Famer Jim Rutledge. Distilled from a 65% corn, 30% rye, 5% malted barley mash bill and bottled at 111 proof, it offers baking-spice, caramel, and toasted oak notes that finish with stone fruit and black pepper.
