x Indy 500 Limited-Edition High Rye Bourbon

About

Blue Run Spirits, founded in Georgetown, Kentucky, created this limited-edition bourbon exclusively for the legendary Indianapolis 500. The collaboration between the modern spirits company and the iconic motorsport event resulted in a special release available only in Indiana, launching on May 18, 2026. This high-rye bourbon is built on a seven-year foundation with a mash bill of 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley. Bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV), it is finished in charred wine casks, which add layers of complexity and depth to the profile. On the nose, praline and orange peel emerge alongside hints of cherry and tobacco. The palate delivers brown sugar and nutty notes, while the finish strikes a balance between rich flavor and rye spice. This is a bourbon that appeals equally to proof-forward enthusiasts and those who value distinctive design.
