This small-batch Kentucky straight rye brings together 212 barrels aged in varied locations throughout the rickhouses, a selection the producer credits with creating a balanced profile. Blue Run describes Emerald II as sweeter and more rounded than Emerald I while retaining rye’s characteristic spice and the smoothness and depth associated with aged bourbon.

Maraschino cherry leads the palate before mango juice adds a ripe, rounded sweetness. Wood spice follows, giving the whiskey structure and contrast without overwhelming its fruit-forward character. The finish is full and fruity, building steadily as the cherry, mango, and spice elements carry forward. Together, the sweeter opening and developing oak spice give Emerald II a layered progression from aroma through finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Run Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48947185189017,"sku":"850043352129","price":111.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/7177\/7177\/files\/Blue-Run-Emerald-II-Kentucky-Straight-Rye-Whis-433.jpg?v=1788069560","url":"https:\/\/vintagewineandspirits.com\/products\/blue-run-emerald-ii-kentucky-straight-rye-whiskey","provider":"Vintage Wine \u0026 Spirits ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
