Blues Music-Honoring Bourbon Whiskeys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Blue Note Bourbon™ Debuts Its Second Annual Special Reserve

— February 11, 2025 — Marketing
Blue Note Bourbon™ is known for its award-winning spirit portfolio and its commitment to paying homage to "the rich blues music that is synonymous with Memphis." Recently, the company released its second-annual Special Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey as a limited release.

The new Blue Note Bourbon™ offering is crafted in Memphis through an intricate process. The limited-release is blended in 10 casks from Kentucky and Tennessee. Ranging in age from four to 19 years, these casks include cognac, madeira, sherry, port, triple sec, apricot brandy, amontillado, vanilla cognac, and vino de Naranja. As such, the Special Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey boasts a complicated taste profile and a proof of 116.3 (roughly 58.15% ABV).

Whiskey enthusiasts are greeted with an aroma of bright fruit, cherry, peach, leather, oak and vanilla while the palete boasts a creamy and light sensation of oak, vanilla, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and citrus.
