BERKELEY SPRINGS, WV, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tailgate Spirits LLC is proud to announce the release of Blue Lot® Barrel Proof, a highly anticipated 6-Year Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Named after one of the most iconic tailgate spots in college football, the Blue Lot is more than pavement—it’s a pre-game tradition, a gathering of Mountaineer spirit, and a symbol of fan culture. Drawn straight from the cask—uncut, unfiltered, and uncompromising—this limited-edition expression is bottled at full strength and built for the biggest moments. Whether you’re a bourbon aficionado, a football fan, or both, this release is a must-have for your collection.
“Barrel Proof lets fans experience our bourbon at full strength and full flavor,” said Michael Greenblatt, Co-Founder of Tailgate Spirits LLC.

“It’s made for the moments that matter.”
The Blue Lot® Barrel Proof features the rare K13 mash bill (78% corn, 13% rye, 9% malted barley), offering a rich balance of sweetness and spice. Bottled at an estimated 127 proof, this cask-strength release reflects ideal aging conditions and Tailgate Spirits’ commitment to provenance-first bottling in West Virginia.

“Every barrel we pick has a distinct voice,” added Tim Kesecker, Co-Founder.

“What you taste in this bottle is authenticity and provenance—the way it was meant to be.”
