The moment is here, our number 1 “can’t miss” whiskey of 2023 is … Blue Run Chosen Single Barrel!!! Blue Run Spirits
The Blue Run Chosen Single Barrel is one of, if not the best, single barrel whiskeys to hit our shelves in years (which is something we don’t say lightly.)
Blue Run has skyrocketed in popularity this year. The brand grew a cult following before finally hitting shelves in New York. In March of ’23, Blue Run announced their “Chosen” program which saw a small number of retailers throughout the country take part in single barrel selections. ��We were fortunate enough to land one of these here and, my goodness, it’s worth the price of admission. ��This particular barrel is anything but traditional. The nose is dry and features a myriad of fruit notes including banana, stone fruits—particularly pluot—and candied apple. The palate follows suit where the apple note blooms substantially followed by a finish that lasts for days.
