Bluegrass Distillers announced the release of its award-winning Blue Corn Bourbon for 2024. This year, there will be two releases, one in the spring and one in the fall, to meet demand.

Made of a mash bill of 75% KY grown non-GMO blue corn, 21% wheat, and 4% malted barley, the Spring release features a blend of four 6.5-year-old barrels, resulting in a total of only 825 bottles. Unlike yellow corn, blue corn pulls sweeter and nuttier notes, making for a complex, yet smooth sipping bourbon. This release has a suggested retail price of $80 per bottle.

Bottles will be sold exclusively through our tasting rooms, online via Bourbon Outfitter, and distributed throughout Kentucky. There will be a limit of two bottles per person at both Bluegrass locations.

“The demand for Blue Corn Bourbon has been unbelievable,” Sam Rock, Founder and Co-Owner of Bluegrass Distillers, said in a news release. “We have been increasing production and growing the corn onsite for the past few years, and we are less than 2 years out from having the product available in larger quantities and more consistently, which is incredibly exciting for us and our customers.”

Less than 200 bottles will be available between both the Elkwood Farm and Downtown Lexington locations of the distillery.
