St. Petersburg Distillery releases [Freedom 250](https://stpetersburgdistillery.com/freedom-250?ref=bevnews.net), a limited-edition bourbon created to celebrate American craftsmanship while supporting veterans, service members and military families through Hire Heroes USA.

Beginning Friday, July 3, only 900 hand-numbered bottles of Freedom 250 will be available exclusively through the St. Petersburg Distillery tasting room. Each bottle is priced at $149.99, with 25% of proceeds benefiting Hire Heroes USA, a nonprofit with a major St. Petersburg impact that helps U.S. service members, veterans and military spouses successfully move into civilian careers through personalized employment services provided at no cost.

Crafted in-house and copper pot distilled in small batches, the five-year-old high rye bourbon is bottled at cask strength and double oaked in local honey-finished barrels. The result is a bold yet balanced whiskey featuring pronounced rye spice, toasted oak and subtle floral notes.

“We wanted Freedom 250 to honor the history and the moment,” said **Evan Brownstein**, CEO of St. Petersburg Distillery. “This one-time release celebrates American craftsmanship, honors the service of our military, and gives bourbon enthusiasts something unique and meaningful to raise a glass with during our nation’s 250th anniversary.”
