Horse Soldier Single Barrel 12 Year

Horse Soldier Single Barrel 12 Year is an ultra-premium Kentucky-style bourbon aged 12 years in new American white oak — a Double Gold winner at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, hand-bottled by the Special Forces veterans of Operational Detachment Alpha 595.

Twelve years in new American white oak build a rich, complex single-barrel bourbon from a mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley — bold yet smooth. American Freedom Distillery was founded by the US Army Special Forces soldiers who rode horseback into Afghanistan after 9/11, and the signature horseshoe-nail bottle references those horses. Its storied background and premium packaging make it a standout gift or collector’s piece.
