Nose
This bourbon shimmers well in the light with a balanced brownish-orange color typical of whiskeys this age. Theres a nice leg structure in the glass.
Palate
Warm vanilla and rock candy notes come from the glass, accompanied by orange, cardamom, and molasses. It is inviting.
Finish
Heat on this is moderate, easily carrying forth vanilla, brown sugar, black spice, cotton candy and caramel. Only some slight hints of oak. Finish is rather unique, rotating between sweet and spicy in a nice tandem as it slowly fades away. This is one to savor.
Verdict
Blue Run Trifecta Kentucky Straight Bourbon delivers a thoroughly accomplished whiskey that justifies its $179.99 price point. It is well-crafted, balanced, and worthy of a place in any considered collection.
