In July 2026, Jefferson's Bourbon and West Overton Distillery announced the unveiling of historic spirits to commemorate the United States' 250th year of independence. The releases highlighted the heritage of early American whiskey production.

A few weeks later, in early August, Wyoming Whiskey, now again Wyoming‑owned, introduced a limited‑edition straight bourbon called “State of the Union.” Aged six years and bottled at 98 proof, the bourbon features notes of raspberry, lemon, peach, white chocolate, and brown‑sugar, with a candied‑ginger and cherry finish. Produced with locally sourced non‑GMO grains and limestone water from the Big Horn Basin, the release was positioned as a celebration of the West’s endurance and independent spirit, and was made available at select retailers across Wyoming.
