Wyoming Whiskey Marks Americas 250th With A Limited Bourbon Release

Wyoming, along with the rest of the country, has been in full-on celebration mode this year, as we celebrate 250 years of freedom. 4th of July was one of the biggest and wildest celebrations we've ever seen. Since the World Cup was here during that time, people from other parts of the world were able to witness the USA firsthand and were blown away.

Another big celebration in Wyoming this year is the announcement that Wyoming Whiskey is again Wyoming-owned.

Not only did they make that announcement, but in the middle of all of the 250 celebrating, Wyoming Whiskey released a limited-edition special straight bourbon whiskey called 'State of the Union.'

This bourbon was aged for six years and bottled at 98 proof, and in true Wyoming Whiskey fashion, the flavors pop, opening with aromas of raspberry and soft lemon, rounded out by a touch of sweet tea. On the palate, notes of peaches and raspberries are layered with white chocolate and brown sugar, leading to a finish marked by candied ginger and cherry balanced by smooth milk chocolate.

Like all Wyoming Whiskey expressions, State of the Union is shaped by the unique conditions of the Big Horn Basin. The whiskey is crafted using locally sourced non-GMO grains from Wyoming farmers, pure limestone water drawn from aquifers near the distillery, and aged in newly charred oak barrels while enduring the region's dramatic climate shifts.

Wyoming Whiskey Co-Founder David DeFozio is excited to release this whiskey to commemorate 250 years.

This anniversary is an opportunity to reflect on what endures—the land, the people, and the spirit of independence that continues to define America. State of the Union is our way of raising a glass to that shared history and the values that helped shape the West.

You can get State of the Union at the Whiskey Shop in Kirby, Barrel House in Jackson, and at select retailers across the state.
