Veterans Day is the perfect opportunity to raise a glass to those who’ve risked it all. But what do you serve to honor those who’ve served?
Try an all-American spirit that’s not just created for patriots, but crafted by them: Horse Soldier Bourbon.
All-American Origins
Sept. 11, 2001 is a day that changed America, and our world, forever. It’s a date we’ll never forget. And after the towers fell, brave Americans stepped up.
Mere days after the 9/11 attacks, 12 Green Berets entered Afghanistan on an ambitious, and dangerous, mission — and they did it on horseback.
This quest was commemorated in both a documentary series and a Hollywood blockbuster, which shared the fascinating adventure of the dozen elite members of the US Special Forces, fittingly dubbed the Horse Soldiers.
As the soldiers’ courage was celebrated on screen, a group of the real-life heroes were working on a much different project behind the scenes. After taking a distillery tour in 2015, the friends discovered a new shared passion. They then embarked on their next chapter together — an all-American mission of a different sort. This is when Horse Soldier Bourbon was born.
Authenticity & Integrity
These two important values are at the heart of the Horse Soldier brand and reflect a commitment to quality that extends from grain to grass. The founders of the brand don’t consider distilling a hobby, but rather a second calling. So when they decided to enter this field, they dedicated themselves to doing it right.
