Blue Run 8-Year Single Barrel Bourbon "Hat & Cattle" 123.8 Proof

Age: 8-years old Proof: 123.8 Proof Mash Bill: 75% yellow corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley. Notes: Cinnamon bark plus stone fruit? That may be the first time I've added a "?" to a tasting note. But, this nose and palate doesn't stop evolving. It's fruit then spice then sweet and back again. This is all with an overlay of some nice dried rosemary and other herbal notes. About: Georgetown, Kentucky-based Blue Run Spirits today announced a special collection of 8-Year-Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys. The collection hails from ten six-year-old barrels that received a final aging of two years in the “sweet spot” of a second rickhouse to create additional harmony and balance. The bourbon found in Blue Run 8-Year-Old Single Barrel will be familiar to many, as it was one of the exceptional whiskeys featured in the recently released Blue Run Trifecta, which received a Double Gold Medal and was named a finalist for the Best Straight Bourbon in the prestigious 2023 New York
