Distillery Notes:

Blue Run “Reflection I” Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a small-batch whiskey and was contract distilled by Blue Run’s Liquid Advisor and Bourbon Hall of Famer Jim Rutledge. Jim distilled this batch of barrels at Castle & Key Distillery. Pulled from existing aging stocks, this approachable Bourbon, at this particular proof, is what they both enjoyed during this period, allowing them to reflect on what truly matters, starting first and foremost with family.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: This opens with a distinct note of tart yet slightly sweet cherry on the nose with a supporting cast of butterscotch candies, mild firewood, and a hint of pancake batter.

Palate: That batter becomes a stack of pancakes with vanilla-laced butter, maple syrup, and a few nuts thrown in that lead to a herb garden full of rosemary bushes.

Finish: That savory note mellows out through the mid-palate as a dusting of nutmeg rounds out the finish with hints of woody maple syrup and a final echo of that tart cherry.


Awards/Reviews:

Platinum - Ascot Awards 2025

"Cola and citrus peel on the palate meets a rush of sweetness, creating a lovely counterpoint to the sweetness and balances nicely."

"Aromas of cooked dark fruits, prunes, figs, raisin bread, and cola, with brighter red fruit notes and chocolate soufflé as it develops in the glass. The palate is lusciously full, with good depth and spice, gooey milk chocolate, and pepperoncini. Water fills out the flavors, bringing notes of Corn Chex, dusty oak, and bitter chocolate. The finish is light but tasty and smooth, with golden apple, honey, chocolate, and spice. Balanced and complete."
