Emerald II Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
Small-Batch Whiskey
Emerald II Rye is the third of our Blue Run rye releases, and features a sweeter, more rounded profile than its predecessor (Emerald I Rye). This Kentucky Straight Rye contains 212 barrels aged across diverse locations of the rickhouses, contributing to its well-balanced flavor. This is a jewel that embraces the distinct, spicy characteristics of rye, but with the smoothness and depth of an aged bourbon.

A full and fruity finish that builds.
