This season, Blue Run Spirits introduces 'Ember,' a small-batch, high-proof bourbon designed to warm the coldest of winter nights. Masterfully curated by Shaylyn Gammon, Head of Whiskey Development & Innovation, Ember is a 128.8-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon that strikes the perfect balance between bold char, wood spice, and nuanced complexity.
Inspired by the contrast of hot and cold, Gammon hand-selected three unique barrels to deliver a bourbon that thrives in the winter chill. The aroma opens with delicate floral notes and a hint of jasmine, layered with light cocoa and oak. On the palate, bursts of juicy orange, cinnamon, and honey melt into a sweet wood spice that lingers with a velvety, bold finish. Ember is a sensory experience crafted for fireside sipping and festive gatherings.
