Two hundred and fifty years ago, a handful of rebels looked at the most powerful empire on earth and essentially said, "We'll take it from here."
To celebrate America's 250th birthday, we created something worthy of the occasion: AMERICA 250 FOUNDER'S BOURBON—a 90-proof bourbon finished with our signature American Oak Spire, soaked in rich Vermont maple syrup.
The result is unapologetically American. Bold bourbon character. Toasted oak. Warm vanilla. A touch of maple sweetness. It's the kind of whiskey that feels right at home beside a campfire, at a backyard cookout, or raised high during a fireworks finale.
But this bottle isn't just about flavor. It's about OUR history.
Because whiskey has been woven into the American story since the very beginning.
Long before bourbon became America's native spirit, whiskey helped build communities on the frontier, fueled commerce, and became a symbol of independence. Farmers turned grain into whiskey because it was easier to transport, easier to trade, and often more valuable than the crops themselves.
Even George Washington got into the game.
After serving as America's first president, Washington built a commercial whiskey distillery at Mount Vernon. By 1799, it was producing nearly 11,000 gallons annually, making it one of the largest distilleries in the young nation. What started as a revolution eventually became a business—and apparently, a pretty good one.
The founders didn't just help create America.
They helped create American whiskey culture.
So when we set out to commemorate 250 years of grit, ingenuity, and independence, we knew the answer wasn't a commemorative trinket or some dust-covered collector's piece destined for a shelf.
It had to be a whiskey.
A whiskey built from American oak. American bourbon. American maple syrup. American craftsmanship.
And because this milestone only happens once, we're keeping it appropriately rare.
Only 76 cases of AMERICA 250 FOUNDER'S BOURBON will ever be produced.
That's it.
Seventy-six cases—a nod to 1776, the year America declared its independence and changed the course of history forever.
Just 76 cases created to honor the birth of a nation and the spirit that built it.
Because some stories deserve to be told with a glass in hand.
Here's to the next 250 years.
Cheers, America.
