Product details
Blue Run Trifecta Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a meticulously crafted small-batch whiskey that expertly balances a base of six-year-old whiskey with the bold flavors of older, "wood heat" whiskeys. Less than half of the blend is composed of the base whiskey, with the rest derived from whiskeys aged in the upper levels of their rickhouses, where they develop richer, more intense characteristics under the influence of elevated heat. This careful blending, overseen by Blue Run Whiskey Director Shaylyn Gammon, results in a bourbon with remarkable depth and complexity.
On the nose, Trifecta reveals notes of unsalted brown butter, French vanilla cream, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and subtle hints of figs and dehydrated apples. The palate is equally enticing, offering flavors of cinnamon-spiced candied apple, baked bread with caramel drizzle, peppermint, and white chocolate, all underscored by a balanced wood char. The finish is warm with vanilla and weathered oak, delivering a medium length that complements the initial heat of the whiskey.
