Product details
Blue Run Flight Series III “Beach & Blooms,” Blended American Whiskey is the vibrant crown jewel of Blue Run Spirits’ third Flight Series—a highly curated collection of six “micro‑batch” blends each composed from no more than four barrels and mashbills. Founded by five passionate individuals who named the brand after the childhood name for Georgetown, Kentucky’s Royal Spring, Blue Run blends modern innovation with deep respect for whiskey tradition. The expression was expertly crafted by Coors Spirits’ Head of Whiskey Development & Innovation, Shaylyn Gammon, under the advisory of Bourbon Hall of Famer Jim Rutledge, using four distinct mashbills of Kentucky straight rye and bourbon (ages 5 and 6 years) distilled at Castle & Key, Bardstown Bourbon Co., and an undisclosed partner, all matured in #3 and #4 char barrels in non‑temperature‑controlled rickhouses. The elegant packaging—with a pearlized white butterfly medallion that shimmers blue in the light—symbolizes the brand’s refined, transformative spirit and its pioneering approach to ultra-small‑batch blending.
In the glass, “Beach & Blooms” presents a woody aroma of cinnamon‑spiced dark chocolate, immediately inviting with oak and spice complexity. On the palate, luscious plum and ripe pineapple mingle with dried fruits and dark cocoa sugars, evoking a decadent fondue-like richness. The finish transitions from a gentle earthiness into caramelized sugar crescendo with lingering warm spice, offering a refined and satisfying lingering heat. Whether sipped neat, with a cube of ice, or a splash of water, its bold yet graceful profile makes it an ideal companion to grilled pineapple-glazed pork belly, a spicy dark chocolate torte, or citrus‑spiced duck breast, all of which accentuate the tropical‑fruit brightness and spicy warmth in equal measure.
