Product details
Blue Run Glimmer is an avant-garde expression from Blue Run Spirits, a Kentucky-based whiskey innovator known for its artful limited releases. This particular bourbon is crafted by beginning with a meticulously aged, Kentucky straight bourbon and then finishing it in selected gin barrels—a bold move that marries the robust character of bourbon with the bright aromatics of gin casks. The result is a dynamic interplay between classic oak-driven richness and botanical freshness. Glimmer is produced in small batches to preserve maximum flavor impact, emphasizing both substance and subtlety.
On the nose, Glimmer greets you with layers of vanilla bean, lemon zest, honey, and gentle juniper warmth—reflecting the gin barrel influence. The palate continues this sensory journey with sweet caramel, toasted oak, baking spices, and bright citrus, complemented by delicate notes that linger alluringly. The finish is long and sophisticated, weaving together creamy vanilla, subtle spice, and a refreshing botanical lift that rounds out the experience. Alternative tasting notes capture a different angle: a floral, pine-tinted nose gives way to honey sweetness balanced by cardamom spice, with a finish that marries barrel toast, char, and rich cocoa-like complexity.
Perfect with roasted chicken or citrus-accented desserts, Blue Run Glimmer’s harmonious blend of warmth and botanical sparkle elevates both savory and sweet fare in a uniquely elegant way.
