About Blue State Spirits:

Blue State Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a niche, politically-themed spirit released by Heaven Hill Distilleries in 2012, designed to celebrate Democratic-voting states alongside a corresponding “Red State” bottle. These, along with other “blue” labeled spirits, focus on specific themes or regions.

Key Aspects of Blue State Spirits

  • Political Pairing (2012): Released during the 2012 U.S. election cycle, Blue State Bourbon was part of a pair (Red and Blue) produced by Heaven Hill, with donations made to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation, according to Difford’s Guide.
  • Production & Availability: It is described as a straight bourbon whiskey. While it was a limited release, bottles may still be found through specialty retailers like CaskCartel.com and GotoLiquorStore.
  • Alternative “Blue” Brands: Other brands use “Blue” to refer to specific, different products:
    • Blue & White Bourbon: A Hidden Still Spirits product (PA) benefiting NIL.
    • Blue Run Spirits: A luxury Kentucky bourbon brand.
    • Tahoe Blue Vodka: A multi-award-winning vodka blend.
    • Steel Blu Vodka: A Maryland-based corn vodka.
