GEORGETOWN, KY (December 3, 2024) – Just in time for the holidays, Blue Run Spirits introduces Ember. It is a limited-edition, high-proof bourbon crafted for the winter season. Bottled at 128.8 proof (64.4% ABV), Ember offers a bold yet nuanced flavor profile with notes of orange, cinnamon, honey, and wood spice. This small-batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon is designed to elevate holiday gatherings or delight whiskey enthusiasts as a premium gift.
Crafted for Winter: The Inspiration Behind Ember
“Ember is the perfect flavor profile to complement the cooler temperatures of winter. When crafting this batch, I was inspired by the contrast of hot and cold, and purposefully selected three unique barrels of high proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon to achieve a nuanced, 128.8 proof blend that amplifies the char and wood spice notes without the heat.” Shaylyn Gammon, Head of Whiskey Development & Innovation at Blue Run Spirits.
