Heritage
Forged in honor and resilience, Horse Soldier Premium Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750 ml) is handcrafted by the American heroes who rode into Afghanistan on horseback following 9/11. Distilled in the heart of Kentucky from a mash bill rich in corn, barley, and rye, it’s a whiskey that carries both history and craftsmanship in every bottle.
Aged in charred new American oak barrels, it develops a bold yet remarkably smooth character — the result of meticulous small-batch production and uncompromising quality. Each bottle is molded in steel recovered from the World Trade Center site, symbolizing courage, unity, and the enduring American spirit. Horse Soldier stands as more than a bourbon — it’s a legacy in liquid form, built on honor, brotherhood, and the pursuit of excellence.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
Horse Soldier Premium Straight Bourbon Whiskey embodies strength and refinement, reflecting the courage of its founders. The aroma opens with notes of toasted corn, vanilla, and warm caramel, layered with hints of oak spice and dried fruit. On the palate, it’s rich and velvety — flavors of butterscotch, honey, and cinnamon unfold alongside roasted nuts and a touch of clove. The texture is full-bodied yet smooth, carrying through to a lingering finish of sweet oak, brown sugar, and soft spice.
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with bold, hearty flavors. Excellent alongside grilled ribeye, smoked brisket, or charred lamb chops. Complements roasted root vegetables, maple-glazed ham, or sweet potato purée. For dessert, try it with pecan pie, crème caramel, or dark chocolate truffles — its warm sweetness and spice elevate every pairing with depth and balance.
Craftsmanship
Horse Soldier Bourbon was founded by a group of former U.S. Army Green Berets, known as the “Horse Soldiers,” who were among the first Special Forces deployed into Afghanistan on horseback after 9/11. Their story is one of courage, resilience, and brotherhood — and those same values are at the heart of everything they create.
Determined to bring that spirit into a new craft, the founders immersed themselves in the art of whiskey-making, studying traditional distillation methods in both Kentucky and abroad. Each bottle of Horse Soldier Bourbon is molded using steel recovered from the World Trade Center site, turning every piece into a symbol of honor and remembrance.
Handcrafted in small batches and made with all-natural ingredients, Horse Soldier Bourbons are known for their strength, authenticity, and rich depth of character. More than just a whiskey, the brand represents a journey from battlefield to distillery — a tribute to service, legacy, and the enduring power of craftsmanship.
