Blue Run 8 Year Straight Bourbon Barrel Pomp and Circumstance is a magnificent bourbon that epitomizes the art of aging and the joy of celebration. This 8-year-old straight bourbon has been meticulously aged, allowing time to enhance its depth and complexity. The "Pomp and Circumstance" namesake reflects not just the bourbon's age but its grandeur and the ceremonial significance that comes with a finely aged spirit. The bourbon presents a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas developed over eight years, offering a smooth, well-rounded drinking experience.
The collection hails from ten six-year-old barrels which received a final aging of two years in the “sweet spot” of a second rickhouse to create additional harmony and balance.
The bourbon found in Blue Run 8-Year-Old Single Barrel will be familiar to many, as it was one of the exceptional whiskeys featured in the recently released Blue Run Trifecta, which received a Double Gold Medal and was named a finalist for the Best Straight Bourbon in the prestigious 2023 New York Wine and Spirits Competition.
The barrels standing proudly on their own in this eight-year-old expression were hand selected by Blue Run Liquid Advisor Jim Rutledge.
