Blue Run Flight Series II 'Santa Monica Pier' (57.6%)

Blue Run Flight Series II 'Santa Monica Pier' is a small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon, bottled at 57.6% ABV (115.1 proof). It is a limited edition within Blue Run's Flight Series II, a collection of small-batch bourbons that each have their own taste profile. The bottle carries the Blue Run butterfly emblem. The coastal character in the name describes the flavour only. It does not come from where the bourbon was aged. The nose is salted caramel, vanilla cream and toasted oak, with a hint of sea breeze freshness. The palate offers buttery toffee, cinnamon, roasted almond and dark fruit, with gentle coastal minerality. The finish is long, warming and slightly briny, with lingering caramel and spice.
