GEORGETOWN, KY – Blue Run Spirits, the distiller behind award-winning luxury bourbons and rye whiskeys, is releasing a new limited release expression, Ember. Available in time for the holidays, Ember sits at 128.8 proof (64.4% ABV) with bold flavors, including orange and floral notes, taking consumers on a sensory experience of dry cinnamon, honey and wood spice. This small batch, high proof bourbon was crafted to be enjoyed in the winter season, sure to elevate the holidays to new heights.
“Ember is the perfect flavor profile to complement the cooler temperatures of winter,” said Shaylyn Gammon, Head of Whiskey Development & Innovation for Blue Run Spirits. “When crafting this batch, I was inspired by the contrast of hot and cold, and purposefully selected three unique barrels of high proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon to achieve a nuanced, 128.8 proof blend that amplifies the char and wood spice notes without the heat.”
Crafted to deliver exhilarating flavors of char and wood spice, this micro-batch blend delivers high-proof without the heat. Ember’s tasting notes:
- Aroma: Soft floral and jasmine notes with cocoa, oak, and a hint of earthiness.
- Taste: A burst of orange, cinnamon, and honey and a finish of sweet wood spice.
- Finish: A velvety finish that is bold and lingering.
Ember is available now both online and in select retailers across the following states: Illinois, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Texas and Virginia. With a suggested retail price of $129.99, Ember is a premium offering that will make the perfect gift for the whiskey aficionado in your life.
