Bluebird Old Fashioned Canned Cocktails

Known for their premium spirits and dedication to craft, Bluebird Distilling enters the Ready To Drink (RTD) arena with their Bluebird Old Fashioned Canned Cocktails, a compact, no-nonsense Old Fashioned cocktail made with their flagship Four Grain Bourbon.

Packaged in 3 ounce steel cans and offered at $26 per 4-pack, the canned Bluebird Old Fashioned is a full-bodied experience tailored for bourbon lovers on the go. At 40% ABV, it doesn’t sacrifice strength or sophistication. Each can contains a perfectly balanced cocktail crafted with Four Grain Bourbon, cane sugar, and aromatic bitters, delivering a complex yet accessible experience.

From a sensory standpoint, the Bluebird Old Fashioned opens with inviting notes of tobacco, toffee, and bright orange zest on the nose. The first sip reveals layers of caramel, warm sweetness, and baking spices that glide into a finish laced with vanilla, citrus peel, and just enough bite to remind you it’s the real thing—not a diluted imitation.

Bluebird Old Fashioned: Four Grain Bourbon as the Star

The main factor in the Bluebird Old Fashioned is Bluebird Distilling’s acclaimed Four Grain Bourbon—a blend of corn, rye, red winter wheat, and barley. Aged six years and bottled at 46% ABV, this whiskey showcases a harmony of sweet corn and charred oak with the nuance of toffee, vanilla, and butterscotch.

Founder Jared Adkins made sure the bourbon used in these cans wasn’t just an afterthought—it’s the star. With a base spirit this rich in character, there’s no need for added flavors or artificial shortcuts. The cocktail strikes a rare balance between bar-quality complexity and tailgate-friendly convenience. It’s as fitting for a refined dinner party as it is for a fishing trip or music festival.

The launch of Bluebird Old Fashioned cans is also part of a larger evolution at Bluebird. Alongside this RTD debut comes a $2 million expansion of the brand’s distillery in Phoenixville, PA, with the addition of a pizzeria and coffee program.

For now, the Bluebird Old Fashioned canned cocktails are available for purchase at the distillery’s Phoenixville shop and online for Pennsylvania residents. With an approachable price point and premium pedigree, these RTDs are likely to fly off the shelves as the season shifts into high gear. Whether enjoyed on a camping trip, by the grill, or at your next backyard cigar session, it makes a strong argument that good whiskey doesn’t need a rocks glass to be great.
