Blue Note Bourbon, crafted to honor the rich blues music that is synonymous with Memphis, has launched its first Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey.
Born in Kentucky and crafted in Memphis, the new limited release features a classic mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, was aged a minimum of four years and then bottled between 116-124 proof, unfiltered.
Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
- Nose: beautifully soft and inviting – perfumed fruits, lots of warm honey sweetness, baked apples, and plenty of buttered toffee long lasting in the glass
- Palate: dense and tingly, initially offering up leather as well as deep, developed berry notes. Thick cherry cobbler begins to soak into the palate as even deeper herbal and spice notes begin to surface. All tied together with fudge covered graham notes and ginger
- Finish: long and trailing with slightly perfumed candied fruits, toasted honey, and Thin Mint cookies lasting well into the long finish.
Blue Note Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is now available for purchase online at BlueNoteBourbon.com and at select retailers in 20 U.S. states (listed below). The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle is $49.95.
