Blue Run
Blue Run Spirits was founded as an ideal - to create a modernized bourbon company with expressions that taste so rich and smooth that they would entice a new generation of enthusiasts, as well as satisfy the most discerning of aficionados. The banks of Kentucky’s Royal Spring — what cofounder Jesse McKnight called the “Blue Run” as a kid — with its pure, limestone-filtered water, seemed like the perfect place to start. After all, as the birthplace of bourbon in 1789, the Blue Run is steeped in more than two centuries of distilling history. Added to that, Jim Rutledge, a 50+ year whiskey veteran, was brought on board right from the start to serve as the brand’s liquid advisor.
