There is a lot to like about Blue Run Spirits Double Oak Single Barrel Rye on paper. At 106.2 proof, let us see if it lives up to expectations.
Nose
Lovely oak, slight aromas of berry jam, hints of orange peel. I also got a little bit of char as if from a well bbqd steak.
Finish
Nice blend of oak and sweetness. Little burn at the end, very pleasant, as if to say I am still here! I also get a little bit of dark chocolate covered candied orange peel. Mint spiciness comes in towards the end as well and lingers on.
The Bottom Line
Blue Run Spirits Double Oak Single Barrel Rye delivers the goods. It is well-made, genuinely enjoyable, and represents solid value for what you are getting. I would happily buy this again.
