Blue Run Reflection II Bourbon Whiskey 750 ML

Blue Run Reflection II is a bourbon release from Blue Run Spirits, a Kentucky-based brand built around sourced whiskey blended and finished under the direction of its own distilling team. It's bottled at 102 proof, higher than standard bourbon strength, which keeps the caramel and oak notes from getting washed out. Each bottle is individually numbered and signed, a detail Blue Run uses across its limited releases to mark small-batch production runs. Expect vanilla, caramel, and oak up front with real weight on the palate from the higher proof, finishing warm rather than hot.

How to drink Blue Run Reflection II

Pour it neat to catch the full 102-proof character, adding a few drops of water only if the heat gets in the way of the caramel and oak. It's a strong candidate for a bourbon Old Fashioned too if you want to build a cocktail with real backbone.
