GEORGETOWN, KY (June 29, 2026) — Blue Run Spirits has officially announced the release of its USA 250th Anniversary Commemorative Packaging, a highly collectible, limited-edition presentation of its award-winning Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon Whiskey.
Crafted to mark America’s historic Semiquincentennial, the design sets Blue Run’s modern aesthetic into a patriotic frame. The bottle features the brand’s signature Viceroy butterfly hand-applied in navy with white star accents, a red-and-white striped tax strip closure, and labels printed entirely in premium 22K gold ink.
The Whiskey Inside: Award-Winning High Rye Bourbon
While the packaging is entirely new, it contains Blue Run’s highly decorated High Rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, an intentional, small-batch expression bottled at 111 proof.
The whiskey has previously earned top industry accolades, including Platinum at the ASCOT Awards, Platinum at the TAG Global Spirits Competition, and Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Official Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Praline and orange peel, with hints of cherry and tobacco.
- Palate: Rich brown sugar and nuttiness, complemented by white pepper evolving into stone fruit and dried apricot.
- Finish: Long and refined, with lingering notes of herbal white tea, peach, and clove.
