Blue Lot 6-Year Bourbon Launches in West Virginia as Mountaineer Brothers Ignites Statewide #GoFor6 Tailgate Campaign
BERKELEY SPRINGS, W.Va. – Mountaineer Brothers, a division of Tailgate Spirits LLC, today announced the upcoming release of Blue Lot 6-Year Bourbon—a single-barrel, 100-proof bourbon handcrafted for West Virginia college-football fans and bourbon lovers. Timed to reach shelves ahead of the 2025 season, the release debuts the statewide #GoFor6 campaign, celebrating six years in the barrel and every touchdown, victory, and tailgate toast to come.
“Blue Lot 6-Year captures the fellowship, grit, and pride of a Saturday tailgate,” said Michael Greenblatt, Co-Founder. “With #GoFor6, we’re inviting fans to toast six years of maturation—and the winning spirit that unites West Virginia.”
“Each cask was hand-selected for depth and authenticity,” added Tim Kesecker, Co-Founder. “The result is bold, balanced, and unmistakably West Virginian—perfect for post-game victories or sharing with fellow bourbon enthusiasts.”
