Blue Note Bourbon, the award-winning whiskey portfolio which is crafted to honor the rich blues music that is synonymous with Memphis, has launched its second annual Special Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Crafted in Memphis, the limited-release is a blend of 10 casks from Kentucky and Tennessee – cognac, madeira, sherry, port, triple sec, madeira, apricot brandy, amontillado, vanilla cognac and vino de Naranja – ranging in age from four to 19 years with varying mashbills. The new expression was bottled at 116.3 proof (58.15% ABV), unfiltered.

“Having launched several wildly successful limited releases in recent years, whiskey enthusiasts have come to expect these types of unique offerings from Blue Note,” Chris Crosbie, Vice President, Sales, B.R. Distilling Company, said in a news release. “This year’s Special Reserve is both exceptional and uncommon having been crafted from 10 unique types of casks.”

Approximately 2,000 bottles of Blue Note Special Reserve are now available for purchase online at BlueNoteBourbon.com and in 20 U.S. states (as listed below). The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle is $225.

Blue Note’s whiskey portfolio is distilled in partnership with Bardstown Bourbon Company (parent company of Green River Distilling) and then aged just north of downtown Memphis where the Mississippi and Wolf Rivers collide. The long summers filled with infamous Memphis heat and cooler evenings forces the whiskey deep into the oak, creating an unmistakably rich flavor that’s bold yet smooth.

Production Facility & Tasting Room

Blue Note’s 110,000 square foot production facilities, located on Royal Avenue just North of downtown Memphis, are open from Monday through Friday from 10am – 4:00pm CST and

include a unique and intimate tasting room. Guided tours are available on Thursdays and Fridays for $10 plus tax & fees. Guests can add a Tasting Flight Experience for an additional $5.
