Hey there! It’s Wednesday, May 20 …

… and a limited-edition bourbon gift set worthy to celebrate America 250!!

If it's your first sip with us, join over 70K curious spirits:

250 YEARS IN THE MAKING …

ONE BOTTLE TO MARK THE MOMENT.

This year, America turns 250. That kind of milestone does not come around twice.

We created the Benson Valley Bourbon America 250 Gift Set to honor the occasion the only way we know how: with damn good bourbon and a presentation that feels worthy of the moment.

Inside is Benson Valley Bourbon at 90 proof, crafted to be smooth enough to share, bold enough to stand on its own, and memorable enough to mark the occasion.

Pour it neat. Gift it well. Set it on the shelf as part of the celebration.

Either way, this is a limited run. Once the America 250 Gift Sets are gone, they will not be restocked.

TASTING NOTES …

CREAMY VANILLA, CHERRY BROWN SUGAR, CINNAMON APPLE.

An easy-sipping bourbon with a smooth character and a finish that stays with you.

90 Proof
$76 Gift Set

When the America 250 Gift Sets sell out, they will not be restocked.
