Georgetown, KY – [Wednesday October, 15] – Blue Run Spirits, the award-winning, ultra-premium whiskey brand, is proud to announce the release of their limited-edition commemorative bottle honoring the 40th anniversary of the Chicago Bears’ 1985 legendary 18-1 season and victory in the Big Game.

The commemorative Blue Run Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon Whiskey bottles were designed in partnership with the Chicago Bears, one of the two remaining original NFL franchises. Each of the limited-edition bottles carries a custom viceroy butterfly medallion and label design inspired by the Monsters of the Midway, with the exclusive packaging proudly identifying Blue Run as “The Official Bourbon of The Chicago Bears.”

Blue Run Spirits and the Chicago Bears are a natural partnership. Each embodies and respects the passion of time-honored legacies with loyal fans and followers. Together, these iconic brands celebrate a seminal moment in Chicago sports history.

“Few teams in sports history have left as lasting a legacy as the 1985 Chicago Bears,” said Katy McBrady, General Manager, Blue Run Spirits. “We are honored to collaborate with the Bears organization to celebrate this milestone anniversary with fans in the heart of Bears Country. This limited-edition release not only raises a glass to the historic season but also honors the tradition and spirit of the Bears’ remarkable franchise.”

The commemorative release of Blue Run’s Kentucky Straight High Rye Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 111 proof and has an SRP of $89.99. The bourbon is celebrated for its bold flavor profile, offering praline and orange peel on the nose, a palate of brown sugar, nuttiness, and stone fruit, and a long finish highlighted by herbal white tea, peach, and clove.

Throughout the season, the Chicago Bears will be celebrating the 40th Anniversary of their legendary win. With one of the finest fan bases in the NFL, Blue Run has partnered to design a classic commemorative package with creative nods to the team's historic standing and unforgettable season.
