Blue Run Spirits’ second whiskey release of the year, “Reflection I” Kentucky Straight Bourbon, was contract-distilled by the company’s liquid advisor, Bourbon Hall of Fame member Jim Rutledge.

It’s now available at select retailers in the U.S. and Canada, as well as online at www.bluerunspirits.com.

Reflection I Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a small-batch whiskey Rutledge distilled at Castle & Key Distillery back in 2018. Two hundred barrels were chosen for the bottling, each toasted to a #3 or #4 char and aged in Frankfort and Bardstown, Kentucky. It’s bottled at 95 proof.

Mike Montgomery, CEO and cofounder of Blue Run Spirits, said Reflection I will appeal to both the whiskey novice and the seasoned veteran. “This release blends barrels with medium to deep char levels allowing us to marry some very intriguing flavor differences. It is a full-flavored sipper that truly demonstrates Jim Rutledge’s finely honed skills as a distiller.”
