Cedar Ridge Distillery is set to release a commemorative label on its Iowa Bourbon in honor of the upcoming Fourth of July holiday.

The 2022 Red, White and Bourbon campaign label will replace the brand’s current version with an American flag-inspired design. The unique label will be available from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

In addition to the commemorative label, Cedar Ridge will donate a portion of its sales from 2022 to the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of Iowa’s “We Care for Iowa Foundation.”

Cedar Ridge’s donations will support the Foundation’s hardship grants, which helps those with financial hardships related to events such as mobilization, natural disasters, fires and other catastrophic losses.

Cedar Ridge VP and General Manager Jamie Siefken said in a prepared statement, “We know that this campaign can do more than sell bourbon, which is why we’re thrilled to partner with the Enlisted Association of the National Guard to bring attention to this cause and help servicemen and women who need us in their times of crisis.”

Peter Moeller, of the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of Iowa, said, “Soldiers and Airmen sacrifice daily for the benefit of Iowans ranging from armed conflict to natural disasters and pandemics. When the unexpected happens, we provide as many resources we can to them and their families. We are forever grateful for the partnership with Cedar Ridge and what their support does for the soldiers and airmen of Iowa.”

The distiller first started the campaign last year, and looks to continue new label designs in subsequent years, making each year’s bottle unique and collectible while growing the charitable contributions and military organizations the campaign supports in areas where Cedar Ridge products are distributed.

The limited-edition bottles are now available in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota beginning with a suggested retail price of $34.99.
