Packaged in standard 750ml bottles, Tax The Rich Bourbon makes a strong first impression on the shelf and in the glass.

This bourbon whiskey from Blue State Spirits showcases classic American whiskey elements with a modern edge. Expect rich notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spice, supported by a warming backbone that highlights its elevated alcohol content. At 47% ABV (94 proof), this bourbon delivers enhanced mouthfeel and intensity, making it ideal for sipping neat, enjoying with a splash of water, or using as a premium base for classic bourbon cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.

Tax The Rich Bourbon Whiskey reflects Blue State Spirits’ commitment to quality, transparency, and expressive branding. Crafted with intention and bottled to preserve flavor integrity, this high‑proof bourbon appeals to collectors, whiskey enthusiasts, and fans of politically inspired spirit labels alike. The approachable yet complex profile ensures it works equally well for seasoned bourbon aficionados and adventurous newcomers exploring higher‑proof American whiskey.

Whether you’re searching for a new bourbon release, a 94‑proof whiskey, or a standout 750ml bourbon bottle with personality, Blue State Spirits Tax The Rich Bourbon Whiskey deserves a spot on your radar. With its distinctive name, elevated ABV, and crowd‑pleasing flavor profile, it’s a bourbon that sparks conversation while delivering classic American whiskey satisfaction.


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.
