A2 - Rye Whiskey

Blue Run Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon is distilled from a mash bill of 65% yellow corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley. Only 100 selected barrels went into this bottling, each toasted to a #4 alligator char and aged in Frankfort and Bardstown, KY.

Blue Run High Rye Bourbon is 111 proof.

In December 2012, Jack Daniel’s released an entirely new Whiskey which was very different from anything they had done before. Unaged Tennessee Rye was the first time in over 100 years that Jack Daniel had used a new grain recipe. This was a very limited release due to the remainder of the Rye Whiskey barrels being left to mature in the warehouses for a future release. Made available to the public with much anticipation and technically not part of a series, this is still the 1st of 3 Rye Whiskey’s that will be released by Jack Daniels. Other than this Unaged Tennessee Rye, there is also a Rested Tennessee Rye which was released in 2014 and an Aged Tennessee Rye which will be released at a future date.

WHAT MAKES THE RED WINE CASK FINISH UNIQUE?

40% ALC 80 Proof

A blend of the classic Basil Hayden high-rye mash bill and bourbon partially aged in Californian red wine casks, this special release is ripe with cherries & dried fruit, while also delivering characteristic bourbon flavors of vanilla and charred oak. Perfectly balanced, Basil Hayden Red Wine Cask Finish is layered & complex, yet approachable & inviting.
