Launched in 2020, the brand is well-known for its ready-to-drink bottled Bushwacker cocktail (also known as “Beach in a Bottle Bushwacker”). Popular on the beaches of Florida, the brand is offering anyone who loves booze (or wants to invest in a boozy brand) the ability to become part owner. Just like the Green Bay Packers, Bushwacker is offering shares of the company to the public.

Now, we’re giving this amazing community the opportunity to own a piece of that feeling, to become owners of the company. The Bushwacker Cocktail has been around for almost 50 years throughout the Gulf Coast and Virgin Islands,” said Smith. “We are just happy to be a small part of its long history and be able to share in this journey with everyone.”

The stock offering is available for any investor. Shareholders receive exclusive benefits, including behind-the-scenes experiences and the opportunity to meet with the company’s leadership one-on-one. Who wouldn’t want to own part of a country that’s all about beach days and good vibes?

An expert sets the record straight on bourbon’s biggest myths
It's time to learn the real deal about the worst bourbon myths
Whiskey in a glass

Bourbon might be America’s "native" spirit and one of the most common whiskey varieties you’ll find on the shelf at your local liquor retailer, but what do you really know about this popular spirit? I’ve been writing about alcohol for nearly 20 years. In that time, I’ve learned a lot of information about the various spirits, wines, and beers we drink on a regular basis. But few spirits have as many myths surrounding them as bourbon.

If you listen to your uninformed whiskey purist uncle, he might tell you a tale about what bourbon is, where it can be made, and why Jack Daniel’s absolutely is a bourbon. But is he actually right? Probably not (although we’ll get into the Jack Daniel’s debate a little later). Keep scrolling as I make an attempt at debunking bourbon myths that you may have heard and don't know if you should believe them. To help me out, I turned to Paul Hletko, Founder of FEW Spirits.

Rolling Fork Spirits is relaunching its popular historic bourbon
Rolling Fork Spirits is relaunchung historic brand Bourbon de Luxe
Whiskey in a glass

We love bourbon, especially historic bourbon. That’s why we get so excited when brands relaunch brands that were seemingly lost in time. This is the case with Bourbon de Luxe. First launched in 1911, it even made it past Prohibition after being acquired by the R.W. Wathen Co. in 1926 and added to the American Medicinal Spirits Co. portfolio in 1927.

Shortly after, it was one of many forgotten brands. That is until Rolling Fork Spirits relaunched it in the fall of 2024. It was so popular that the brand decided to once again release this limited-edition small batch bourbon after selling out so quickly the first time on popular spirits retailer Seelbachs.com.
