The story behind it

The maker

Horse Soldier Bourbon was founded by retired U.S. Army Special Forces veterans who were among the first to enter Afghanistan on horseback after 9/11, famously known as the 'Horse Soldiers'. They established the distillery to honor their brotherhood and create an authentic, world-class American whiskey.

How it is made

Crafted by the legendary American Freedom Distillery, this expression is distilled using copper pot stills and aged in deep-charred new American oak barrels. The glass bottle itself is uniquely molded from steel salvaged from the World Trade Center site after September 11.

From Columbus, Ohio, USA
