Join us as we reflect back and bid farewell to an unforgettable whiskey.

The final expression of “Reflection I” is in circulation and will never be produced again. Around 200 carefully selected barrels were chosen for this bottling, each toasted to a #3 or #4 char and aged in Frankfort and Bardstown, Kentucky. Taste the award winning flavor that's not to be missed.

INDUSTRY LEGEND

The Finish of a Master Craftsman

Blue Run “Reflection I” Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was contract distilled by the company’s liquid advisor, Bourbon Hall of Fame member and 50-year veteran of the industry, Jim Rutledge.

A FULL-FLAVORED SIPPER

Experience the Flavor

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.

WINNING OVER THE CRITICS

Reflection I – A new label, “sourced” whiskey, $100 – $200 per bottle? Could be a recipe for mediocrity, but in the case of Georgetown, Kentucky-based Blue Run, working with industry veteran Jim Rutledge (Four Roses), everything I’ve had of theirs knocks it out of the park.

SIP. TASTE. REFLECT. REPEAT.

Why Reflection?

The name “Reflection I” was chosen by two of Blue Run’s founders who faced personal challenges over the past two years, in the middle of the pandemic and while launching Blue Run Spirits.

Pulled from existing aging stocks, this refined 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.
