    I believe the Blue Run bottles are distilled at Castle & Key, not Bardstown.
    They are not for everyone, but are amazing for a select few. It really is a polarizing brand aimed at the luxury space. I’m a huge fan of the line, and I’m curious to see what happens now that Coors has skin in the game.
    Coors is no stranger to sourcing, with their Five Trail & Barmen bottles, though I feel like what I truly love about Blue Run are the things that the couple of people behind the brand have been doing. If those decisions are in someone else’s hands, I worry the brand might lose its identity.

    Accurate review. Bought a bottle of the emerald cask strength rye as a gift. While very nicely packaged and overall good juice, it isn't worth the price tag. Knock $40 off and it'd be very competitive.

    I got the Blue Run high rye and when I first tasted it I didn’t care for it but once it opened up a bit every sip got better. Now it drinks really nice. Still don’t think it was worth $90 but it’s pretty good

    I bought the high rye bourbon before I found out it was only four years old. All I tasted was youth masking a very generic bourbon flavor. This is the only time I've given away a $100 bottle.

    Why did people give Daniel advice on throwing the paper?! I enjoyed guessing if he would make it or not and watching him slowly learn how to do it right.

    My questions:
    Is it good?
    Can I afford it?
    Am I willing to spend that much for it?
    Any marketing beyond making me aware that the product with a given set of characteristics exists is wasted on me.

    • @mikecofojohn168
      @mikecofojohn168 Рік тому +1

      Not sure if you can afford it, but as an attempt to answer your question…..
      No, it isn’t worth the price, and is solely a cash grab. Avoid.

    I really enjoy this whiskey, and just as a quick info blip for who distilled it, Castle & Key distilled it. Jim Rutledge is still responsible for blending, but Castle & Key is the one who distilled it. I've been waiting for Blue Run to be brought on this channel and reviewed, I've been curious what y'all thought about it. I do worry where the brand will go, now that they've been bought out by Coors.

      not all of it is C&K the early releases the newer ones are blends from Bardstown

      @@aintchorrollmodel182 I was just pointing out this is the one not sourced from Bardstown, cause I think Castle & Key deserves the proper praise and don't see enough of their stuff mentioned online.

    With the water, maybe the volume differences made the differences (in the glass).

    I think Daniel is confusing the city of Bardstown KY with Bardstown Bourbon Company. There are dozens of distilleries in Bardstown, KY.

  • @unclemikiesworld

    after chill filtering do distilleries utilize what has been filtered out as a flavoring component for other whiskeys?

  • @sjranft
    @sjranft Рік тому

    I have a random/stupid question… I’ve only seen people proof down whiskey with water. Has anyone tried “proofing up” with a high ABV neutral spirit to see if it brings out anything different? Would it even make a difference or just add heat to the taste?

    I had a pour of their normal emerald rye at a whiskey bar. It was okay, but I was not overly impressed. Neither was my brother. Needless to say, I probably will not be interested in going for this brand as it definitely is cost prohibitive for the juice.

  • @normlang1994
    @normlang1994 Рік тому

    Sourcing has never been an issue for me, as long as the company has a blender that's creating the whiskeys being bottled. Now, if they're just tasting a barrel they like and slapping their label on it, that's kinda lame.

  • @matthewmorin7016
    @matthewmorin7016 Рік тому

    I think it's good to still call out what Blue Run is doing so people know you can get similar whiskey (from said known distillery) that could be a better value than these so call "luxury brands offer.

    • @Chundoh
      @Chundoh Рік тому +1

      They stopped taking donations back around October 2021 I think and in August of this year they finally got through that backlog. There's a link in the comments where you can send them money towards bottles for the vaults and they'll MB you then.

    • @thebeginnersbar
      @thebeginnersbar Рік тому

      They completed the backlog of donated bottles a few weeks ago and are now on bottles they choose to source themselves or haven't reviewed.
