Casey Jones Distillery announced the launch of Revere Bourbon, a premium 5-year small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon crafted in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. The release debuted at the “Spirit of Revolution” event at the distillery in Hopkinsville, Kentucky — marking a release the distillery considers its most meaningful to date.

Revere Bourbon takes its name and identity from one of the founding era’s most iconic moments — Paul Revere’s midnight ride of April 18, 1775 — and positions itself as the commemorative bourbon of the semiquincentennial year. It is being released as a limited first edition and the opening chapter of the founding moments of the American story.

“For us, Revere Bourbon is more than a release,” Peg Hays, Casey Jones Founder & President, said in a news release. “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.” 

The spirit itself reflects the same uncompromising standard as the brand’s founding narrative. Distilled from 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley and aged five years in American white oak, Revere Bourbon is bottled at 100 proof for a robust palate — delivering the character and finish that small-batch bourbon enthusiasts demand.

“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,” Arlon Casey Jones, Founder & Master Distiller, said. “When I pour this bourbon, I’m reminded of where it all started and what still holds us together. United we stand.” 

The launch is accompanied by a cinematic trailer, available on the distillery’s website and YouTube channel.

“We wanted to build something unique around Revere as one of the most visceral moments leading to our independence,” Cody Turner, Partner & COO. “It’s a callback to that spirit of determination and the birth of this nation.” 

Revere Bourbon is available exclusively at the distillery or online for a suggested retail price of $59.99.
