This is another super limited production project from the Bourbon leaders, Booker’s and their iconic master distiller, Fred Noe. They’re calling this batch from April of 2021, ‘Noe Strangers’. It’s a monster at 6 years 6 months and 12 days and 124.4 Proof (62.2% alc.)
This is a gorgeous non-chill filtered Cask Strength bourbon made in new charred oak with a mashbill of 77% Corn, 13% Rye and 10% Malted Barley. I happen to think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever had from these Bourbon legends, probably because Freddie made it as an homage to his father Booker Noe. It’s got a gorgeous caramel nose that also features notes of hazelnuts, toffee and dried dark fruit. It’s got the classic Booker aroma profile with the warm, heavy palate that flashes oak, caramel, baking spices, with a nutty component. The finish is long with baking spices, vanilla and a Kentucky hug.
The breakdown is as follows:
39% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse J
31% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q
27% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse D
3% came from the 2nd floor of 9-story warehouse H

Rich and creamy notes of toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, and fresh baked Bundt cake immediately flood the sense’s as soon as you pop this one open. Bottled at 100-Proof, you get a little bit of heat on the front palate followed by rich oak, leather and freshly baked bread. As it starts to open, you get some sweeter, creamy vanilla notes that cream in as well as campfire s’mores and a dash of pepper. The finish is long, and a bit spicy which leaves a memorable aftertaste and leaves you wanting more.
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
I was given fourteen samples to taste through, and found that the 5th sample was the winner. This one is not for the faint of heart. It was a tiny barrel of just 40 six-packs, but the quality here was out of the world. It checks in at 110 Proof (55% alc.) and has harmonious sweet and savory notes that dual throughout this super long and memorable finish. It’s worth selling less bottles to bring you one this good – you guys are going to absolutely love it.
94 Points (#12 Whiskey of the Year), Whisky Advocate
“At the helm for Blue Run Spirits’ whiskeys are whiskey director Shaylyn Gammon and liquid advisor Jim Rutledge, who demonstrate their mastery with this blend of three Kentucky bourbons aged 6, 8, and 9 years. Oatmeal raisin cookies and tropical aromas dominate the nose, though dried pineapple is soon overtaken by cinnamon spice, vanilla bean, and grape jelly. The palate is rich with flavors of chocolate and espresso, then playful notes of raspberry syrup. Flourless chocolate cake, more fruit, and a good deal of heat make for a tantalizing finish.”
