I thought this was interesting - Robert Hicks, who is involved in the preservation of the Franklin Battlefield, is selling a limited edition Civil War themed bourbon:

Very cool idea, and to make only 1,864 bottles !!!

I'll definitely drink to that !!

There is also a "1792" bourbon (named for the year Kentucky was admitted to the union). Though Kentucky saw a lot of rough times as a border state, this is a rather smooth sip...

I think this is a pretty cool marketing concept. There's no doubt the concept has legs and the packaging is excellent. Has anyone tried the bourbon? Is it up to snuff?

In very small batches like this, I expect the distiller will have trouble keeping each year's release consistent with the last. Maybe that is not their intention.

This is not a new concept. Google Jarhead Wine and Waterloo Beer.

This was most likely bottled in 1945 and is not available today. The label carries the nick name (Jolly Rogers) and motif of the 90th Bomb Group.

Cool gonna have to get some of that. Drinking some Evan Williams (Kentucky bourbon) on the rocks as I type this.
