The 4th of July this year is going to be an extra special holiday because America is celebrating its sesquicentennial, commemorating 250 years of the red, white, and blue. Of course, there are many whiskey distilleries and brands who are marking the occasion as well by releasing everything from limited-edition bottles with patriotic labels, to whiskey bottled at proofs and in numbers that reference the year 1776, to some special high-end releases of America’s native spirit. We’ve put together a list of some of the best whiskeys that you should look out for this summer, some of which just might prove to be valuable collector’s items down the road.

Old Overholt 250th Edition (SRP $20)

This is the same Old Overholt rye whiskey, produced at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, that you know and love. That means the whiskey is four years old and bottled at 86 proof just like the original, but it comes in a new bottle designed to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. It’s only being released in five states, however—Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oregon, Maryland, and New Orleans, LA—so keep an eye out for bottles appearing at auction.

United States of Bourbon 1776 Edition (SRP $200)

Vermont independent bottler Lost Lantern released the new United States of Bourbon just last week. This was the very first blend of bourbon to combine liquid from all 50 states, including distilleries like New Riff, Kings County, and Woodinville Whiskey. The 1776 Edition pared the concept down to just 13 East Coast states to celebrate the 250th, and was released in a run of 1,776 bottles.

Wattie Boone 250th Anniversary Edition (SRP $250)

This is really a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Wattie Boone distillery in Kentucky, but it coincides nicely with America’s birthday as well. Wattie Boone a brand produced by Preservation Distillery, and this 250th Anniversary Edition is a blend of just two barrels: one is an 11-year-old Kentucky bourbon, the other is a 22-year-old Tennessee bourbon. The final blend was bottled at 124.8 proof, and just 250 bottles were released.

WhistlePig Red, White & Blue PiggyBank (SRP $250) and Declaration Wheat Whiskey (SRP $74)

Vermont distillery WhistlePig is celebrating the 250th anniversary with two new special releases. The first is a Red, White, & Blue version of its annual PiggyBank release, a 110-proof, 10-year-old sourced rye whiskey that comes in a collectible pig decanter (the whiskey pours out of the rear end). The second is a wheat whiskey, which obviously has a very different flavor profile than the distillery’s usual rye. This 86-proof whiskey was doubled aged in American oak barrels, and comes with a cracked Liberty Bell topper.

Peg Leg Porker Spirit of America (SRP $60)

Peg Leg Porker is a Tennessee whiskey brand founded by pitmaster Carey Bringle, owner of a barbecue restaurant in Nashville who lost his leg to cancer when he was just 17. The new Spirit of America expression is a bottled-in-bond bourbon, meaning it’s at least four years old, the product of one distillery and one distilling season, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.  

Barrell Bourbon Batch 038 (SRP $80)

Louisville whiskey blending house Barrell Craft Spirits released its latest batch of bourbon last month. Like past releases, this is a blend of sourced barrels from different distilleries, including whiskey from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Maryland that was aged between eight and 15 years and bottled at 116.96 proof. This release stands out for its red, white, and blue label commemorating the country’s 250th birthday.

Rittenhouse United States 250th Anniversary Commemorative Edition (SRP $100)

Rittenhouse is Heaven Hill’s dependable budget rye brand, but this new 250th Anniversary edition presents a major upgrade to the whiskey. This release was made from the regular Heaven Hill rye mashbill of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley, but it was aged for a full decade and bottled without chill filtration at 100 proof. It also features a special label for the occasion.

BHAKTA 1868 America250 Edition ($250)

Bhakta Spirits is the brand started by the founder of WhistlePig, Raj Bhakta, after he left the company years ago. The focus of his new endeavor is on Armagnac, but there are a few excellent whiskeys in the lineup as well. The new 1868 America250 Edition is a blend of bourbon and 100 different vintages of Armagnac with an average age of 30 years. Just five barrels were produced of this very limited-edition spirit, each named after a different person who played a major role in American history.

Evan Williams Single Barrel (SRP $40)

Heaven Hill bourbon brand Evan Williams released a few expressions to commemorate America’s 250th, including 1.75-liter versions of Black Label and 1783 Small Batch. The best of the group is this new higher proof Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon, bottled, of course, at 117.76 proof. This often underrated single barrel bourbon comes with special packaging with a hand-dipped blue wax topper.

Horse Soldier Liberty Edition (SRP $800)

The latest release from Horse Soldier, a brand that was founded by a group of ex-Green Berets, is a very expensive 13-year-old bourbon released to mark 250 years of America. 1,776 bottles of this 100-proof Kentucky bourbon were released, and a portion of the proceeds from the sales will go to the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Foundation. The brand is also opening the new Horse Soldier Farms, its new distillery and visitor center, this July 4.
