Product details
Fit & Flair is the fourth expression in Blue Run’s Flight Series III, masterminded by Shaylyn Gammon, Head of Whiskey Development & Innovation at Coors Spirits Co. This series marks the first time Blue Run has blended Kentucky straight bourbon and rye whiskies across four mashbills, crafting micro-batches from no more than four barrels per expression. The bourbon and rye barrels, sourced from Castle & Key, Bardstown Bourbon Company and another undisclosed distillery, feature #3 and #4 char levels and are aged in non-temperature-controlled rickhouses in Bardstown, Kentucky. At 117 proof (58.5% ABV), Fit & Flair is designed to capture the “grit and glamour of U.S. urban locales,” merging robust character with polished elegance—butterfly‑embellished bottles and themed neck labels complete the sensory narrative.
On the nose, Fit & Flair exudes smoky, toasted nuts reminiscent of a summer campfire, layered over a warm, earthy base. The palate presents a gourmet blend of savory dry‑roasted nuts and candied dried fruits lightly drizzled with caramel and chocolate, leading into a decadent finish with lingering caramel and warm black pepper spice. This richly structured whiskey pairs beautifully with charcoal‑grilled meats, smoky cheeses, or roasted nuts and dried fruit desserts—where its spicy‑sweet complexity harmonizes with bold, savory flavors.
