BARDSTOWN, KY — (May 20, 2026) — Four Branches Bourbon, the premier spirits company founded exclusively by military veterans spanning the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, has officially announced its most exclusive allocation yet: Liberty Reserve. Released as a limited-edition commemorative expression honoring the upcoming 250th anniversary of America, only 1,776 individually numbered bottles have been produced nationwide in a direct tribute to the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The liquid architecture of Liberty Reserve relies on a highly sophisticated blending and finishing strategy. Master blenders married an ultra-mature 10-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon with Four Branches’ own inaugural four-grain distillate. The combined spirit was then subjected to a secondary maturation process inside heavily toasted American white oak barrels.
Tasting Profile & Packaging Specs
Bottled at a uniform 100 proof ($50\%$ ABV) to emphasize structure and accessibility, the Double Oak finish yields a rich and expressive sensory profile. Drinkers can expect dominant notes of dark caramel, raw honey, Madagascar vanilla, toasted marshmallow, dark stone fruits, and warm, seasoned oak.
Every bottle in this allocation is individually numbered, making it a premier collector’s item for whiskey enthusiasts, history buffs, and supporters of the service community alike.
A Philanthropic Brand Mission
Built upon a combined century of military service, Four Branches operates under the solemn guiding philosophy of “Sip to Remember.” Through dedicated giveback initiatives, the brand has already raised over $\$600,000$ for veteran and first responder non-profit organizations specializing in mental health, corporate transition, and community support. Liberty Reserve acts as an extension of that mission, honoring the sacrifice, unity, and resilience of American service members across generations.
Pricing & Pre-Order Logistics
Four Branches Bourbon Liberty Reserve is available for national pre-sale orders starting May 20, 2026, carrying a Suggested Retail Price (SRP) of $119.99 per 750ml bottle. Due to the ultra-strict 1,776-bottle production limit, allocations are expected to sell out immediately. For more information or to secure a pre-order, visit the official store.
