Good news for your Old Fashioned.

Our 5-Spice Orange Bitters just won Mixer/Syrup of the Year at the 2026 New Orleans Spirits Competition (@nolaspiritscomp) earning Double Gold to get there. And Smoky Simple Syrup took home Gold.

We're working every day to create products worthy of a space on your home bar, and awards like these tell us we are probably on the right track. We hope you agree. by @bluegrassbitters

You are now pouring Double Platinum into your glass. Our Smoky Simple Syrup, Black Walnut Bitters, and 5-Spice Orange Bitters all earned Double Platinum in the 2026 @ascotawards—the highest award level in the competition. Entries are blind-tasted by a panel of experienced judges and scored on appearance, aroma, taste, and finish. We are humbled by and grateful for this recognition.

Thank you to our customers and fans for being part of the journey. Cheers to what's next! by @bluegrassbitters

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Flavor Deconstructed, part of @bourbonandbelonging, presented by @queerkentucky.

We teamed up with @@arteatablesbourbontruffles to explore how bourbon, bitters, and chocolate bring out the best in each other, including a Dark Cherry Old Fashioned alongside their chocolates. It was a night of great flavor and even better company. Thank you to Queer Kentucky and Art Eatables for your partnership. by @bluegrassbitters

From the beginning, we ensured every part of Bluegrass Bitters™ was from Kentucky—sourced here, made here, bottled here. Kentucky isn't just where we happen to be based. It's the whole reason we started: the birthplace of bourbon, and the state we want every bottle to represent well. That's why we are proud to be @kentuckyproud. by @bluegrassbitters
