Discover the Legacy of Horse Soldier Bourbon
Unveiling the remarkable journey of Horse Soldier bourbon, this veteran-owned bourbon brand stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of American soldiers. Founded in 2015, Horse Soldier Bourbon is more than just a distillery; it’s a symbol of heroism, resilience, and the American spirit.
The Founders’ Story
Horse Soldier Bourbon was established by a trio of veterans who were part of the historic Horse Soldier operation. This operation was a pivotal counterterrorism mission that played a crucial role in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The founders, with no prior equestrian training, were deployed to Afghanistan, where they journeyed on horses provided by a local warlord, symbolizing an unexpected yet historic moment.
The Essence of Our Bourbon
Horse Soldier Bourbon is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Emphasizing quality over quantity, each batch is a reflection of the founders’ dedication and the high standards they set. From the smooth palate of our standard bourbon to the rich, complex profiles of our barrel strength variety, every sip tells a story of bravery and excellence.
A Design Steeped in History
The design of Horse Soldier Bourbon bottles is iconic, featuring a cutout of a mounted soldier. This design is not only aesthetic but deeply meaningful, modeled after America’s Response Monument in NYC. Moreover, the steel used in our bottle molds is forged from salvaged I-beams from the World Trade Center, a poignant reminder of the resilience and spirit of America.
Commitment to Veterans
Beyond production, Horse Soldier Bourbon is committed to giving back to the veteran community. The foundation of the Veterans Artisan Distillers Guide highlights this commitment, fostering a community of veteran-owned distilleries across America.
