Are you celebrating Independence Day this weekend? If so, you’ll definitely want to check out Saint Liberty Whiskey.
Saint Liberty, an all-American whiskey brand is a perfect complement to any celebration. The most recently launched Bertie’s Bear Gulch, is 87 proof and perfect for any summer beverage. Packaged in a signature embossed coffin flask bottle, inspired by the antique bottles of the American frontier, Bertie’s bourbon offers flavors of rich dark molasse, caramelized vanilla, apricots, some burnt brown sugar and a hint of smoke on the finish.
