United States of Bourbon 1776 Edition
Marking a Milestone
This release, created especially for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, is a limited-edition counterpart to our flagship United States of Bourbon, the first blend of straight bourbon whiskies from all 50 states (available in both 100 Proof and Cask Strength expressions). This special 1776 edition, limited to 1,776 bottles and never to be repeated, is a blend of straight bourbon whiskies from the first 13 states, which came together in 1776 to declare independence and form a new nation.
Warm, complex, and spicy on the nose, with orange zest, dark chocolate, and walnut notes. The palate bursts with fruit and spice, with hints of fresh-baked bread and notes of leather leading into a very long, spicy finish. Deep and complex.
