Small batches, big hearts.

Ahh, Bourbon. The official drink of freedom, if there ever was one. If there's one distillery that truly deserves to use the word, it's the American Freedom Distillery. It was founded by a group of ex-Special Forces vets ― the first to charge into post-9/11 Afghanistan on horseback. The band of brothers would stick together through thick and thin, braving various conflicts, and eventually tackling another kind of challenge altogether once they settled on a quieter life of Bourbon-making.

Co-founder Scott Neil says that the juice inside the bottle has to be just as exceptional as the story behind it, and this one backs up that claim. The Horse Soldier Signature Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted with a mash bill of yellow dent corn, soft red winter wheat, and barley, meticulously blended and non-chill filtered. It's got everything a proper Bourbon needs: butterscotch, toffee, fruit, vanilla, and oak. A Whiskey Mule with Horse Soldier sure sounds like it would make a great conversation starter, but if it was us... We'd do the 95-proof juice justice and take it neat or with an ice cube at most. No need to take our word for it, either. This soldier has been officially decorated with some shiny medals as well.

Appearance / Color
Deep amber

Nose / Aroma / Smell
Inviting butterscotch, toffee, ginger, and a fruity cherry note aromas greet the nose with a touch of grain hovering in the background.

Flavor / Taste / Palate
It's a Bourbon all right. Creamy with toffee, stone fruits, vanilla, and oak, there's a nuttiness and cracked pepper notes in there as well.

Finish
The notes linger through the satisfyingly long finish that livens things up with a touch of heat.

Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.
At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
Bourbon must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.
Sure, Kentucky gets all the press when it comes to Bourbon. And with good reason—nearly 95% of it is produced there. But Bourbon can be made anywhere as long as it's within the United States. Just ask states with budding distilleries like Illinois and New York.
Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
