The story of Union Horse Distillery starts with four siblings and a friend. Eric, Damian, Patrick, and Mary Garcia-Gallagher and entrepreneur Kris Hennessy founded the distillery in 2010 near Kansas City, Kansas, under the name "Dark Horse Distillery." But it turns out that a few other similar businesses had similar names. All the legal wrangling was finalized in 2015 and the business has operated as Union Horse since then. Their family-owned and operated business consistently churns out a quality range of five award-winning American Whiskeys and Vodka.
Union Horse Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey is all made on-site in a 500-gallon column pot-still named "Chester Copperpot" — definitely small-batch stuff. Uniquely, the sour-mash bill is 80% corn and 20% rye with no barley at all. Instead, they use active enzymes to smooth-out the fermentation process. The final Spirit is aged between two and five years in new oak and bottled at a perfect 46% ABV.

"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.
Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Yellowstone Bourbon has had several owners throughout its history, including J.B. Dant, D.H. Taylor, The Glenmore Distillery, United Distillers & Vintners, the David Sherman Company, Heaven Hill, and David Sherman (now known as Luxco).
Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
Bourbon must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.
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.
