Blue Run "Chosen" Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a limited, exclusive private barrel selection from Blue Run Spirits, a premium American whiskey brand based in Kentucky. Each bottle in the Chosen program is a hand-selected single barrel or custom micro-blend, crafted in collaboration with Blue Run's whiskey director and curated specifically for the selecting retailer or organization.

The Chosen program launched in February 2023 as a lottery-style initiative inviting retailers and whiskey enthusiasts to participate in a unique barrel selection experience. Winners collaborated closely with Blue Run to identify their ideal whiskey profile — choosing from single barrels or micro-blends that vary in age, proof, and mash bill — resulting in a truly individualized expression. Mash bills across the Chosen lineup typically feature a high-corn recipe (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley is common), distilled and aged in Kentucky at cask strength, typically ranging from 115 to 130+ proof.

This 750ml bottle is a Costco private pick from the Chosen series, making it a rare, limited-availability find. The bottle features Blue Run's iconic butterfly medallion and a customized label reflecting the selecting partner. As a barrel-proof expression, it delivers bold, concentrated flavors characteristic of the program — notes such as caramel, vanilla bean, baking spices, leather, dark chocolate, and dried fruit are hallmarks of the Chosen range.
