Horse Soldier® Bourbon Whiskey is crafted by the U.S. Army Green Berets who answered America’s call days after 9/11 with a daring insertion, on horseback, into northern Afghanistan. This brave and unconventional act earned them the moniker of “Horse Soldiers”. Our team has been featured in the Hollywood movie 12 Strong, the CNN documentary Legion of Brothers, and memorialized by America’s Response Monument located at Ground Zero in New York City. The Horse Soldier® glass bottle is molded by steel recovered from the World Trade Center to commemorate the lives lost and never forgotten.
