Casey Jones Distillery has released Revere Bourbon, a limited-edition 5-year small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon crafted to commemorate the United States semiquincentennial. The premium spirit debuted on Friday, April 10, at the distillery’s "Spirit of Revolution" event in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
Revere Bourbon draws its name from Paul Revere’s midnight ride of April 18, 1775, positioning itself as a commemorative bourbon for the nation’s 250th anniversary year. The distillery describes the release as the opening chapter in a series honoring founding moments of the American story.
"For us, Revere Bourbon is more than a release," said Peg Hays, founder and president of Casey Jones Distillery. "It is a tribute to the grit, independence, and enduring American spirit that have shaped Casey Jones Distillery every step of the way. We are grateful for all those who have supported our journey and helped make releases like this possible."

Official tasting notes from the brand describe a robust palate with bold character and a long finish.
"As a proud American and a distiller, I’m thankful for our Fort Campbell neighbors, along with our military, first responders, and all who stand watch — protecting the 250 years it took to build this country," said Arlon Casey Jones, founder and master distiller. "When I pour this bourbon, I’m reminded of where it all started and what still holds us together. United we stand."
