Blue Note Brings Back 17YO Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey

Blue Note Bourbon has reintroduced its 17-Year Barrel Proof Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey, marking the first release of the expression since 2022.

The whiskey is 119 proof (59.5% ABV) designation, and uses a mash bill of 70% corn, 22% rye and 8% malted barley.

The unfiltered bourbon has notes of oak, caramel, dried fruit and spice, according to the company.

“We’re excited to bring back a 17-Year whiskey which reflects the patience, craftsmanship and time required to create something truly special,” said Chris Crosbie, Chief Executive Officer of B.R. Distilling Co. “It has been several years since we’ve released an expression of this caliber, making this limited release a rare opportunity for collectors and discerning whiskey enthusiasts to experience this remarkable expression which reflects the depth, character and complexity that comes with extended aging.”

Blue Note plans to release approximately 4,000 bottles, with availability in select U.S. markets and online through Seelbach’s beginning Nov. 20. The suggested retail price is $174.99 per 750-ml. bottle.

Blue Note produces its whiskey in partnership with Lofted Spirits, the parent company of Green River Distilling Company. The company ages its whiskey just north of downtown Memphis, where the Mississippi and Wolf rivers meet.

The 17-Year release joins a portfolio of limited-release offerings that includes Premium Small Batch, Single Barrel Reserve, Special Reserve, Single Barrel Rye, Honey Bourbon and Honey Rye Casks and Cherry Cask Bourbon. Blue Note’s core portfolio includes Juke Joint ($34.99), Crossroads ($44.99), Uncut ($49.99), Straight Rye Whiskey ($34.99) and Single Barrel Rye ($49.95).
