New Louisville Whiskey 250th Red, White, & BOOM 9 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey – Limited Edition 9 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon | New Louisville Whiskey, Louisville, Kentucky
New Louisville Whiskey 250th Red, White, & BOOM 9 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey is a landmark limited release from New Louisville Whiskey — a craft-focused Kentucky bourbon producer rooted in the rich distilling heritage of Louisville, the city that has been at the heart of American bourbon culture for generations. This special edition was created to honor a profound milestone: the 250th anniversary of Louisville, Kentucky — a city whose history is inseparable from the story of American bourbon itself. The Red, White, & BOOM name is a nod to Louisville’s beloved annual Fourth of July fireworks celebration, one of the largest in the nation, making this release the ultimate patriotic bourbon for celebrating American heritage.
Inside the limited anniversary packaging is a 9 year old Kentucky straight bourbon — a spirit that has spent nearly a decade developing its character in charred American oak barrels in the Kentucky climate, cycling through the extreme seasonal temperature swings that drive the spirit deep into the wood and extract the rich layers of caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, and oak spice that define a well-aged Kentucky bourbon. At 9 years old, this expression delivers the depth and complexity that extended aging produces while retaining the approachable balance that makes it enjoyable for both seasoned bourbon enthusiasts and those newer to the category. It is a bourbon that honors Louisville’s 250 years of history with every pour.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the connection between this bourbon and Louisville’s 250th anniversary?
The New Louisville Whiskey 250th Red, White, & BOOM was created specifically to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Louisville, Kentucky — founded in 1778 and one of the most historically significant cities in American bourbon history. Louisville has been at the center of Kentucky’s bourbon industry for generations, home to some of the world’s most celebrated distilleries and the annual Kentucky Derby, which is synonymous with bourbon culture. The Red, White, & BOOM name honors Louisville’s beloved Fourth of July fireworks celebration, connecting this limited release to both the city’s anniversary and America’s patriotic spirit.
Why is a 9 year age statement significant in bourbon?
A 9 year age statement is increasingly rare and valuable in the bourbon market, where many premium brands have moved to non-age-statement expressions as demand has outpaced aged inventory. A bourbon with a confirmed 9 year age statement has spent nearly a decade in charred American oak barrels — long enough to develop the deep caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, and oak complexity that extended aging produces, while still retaining the balance and approachability that makes it enjoyable across a wide range of drinkers. Age-stated bourbons offer a level of transparency and quality assurance that collectors and enthusiasts actively seek out.
