Join Johnson Brothers Distributing and a Horse Soldier team member as we explore the story behind this patriotic brand and enjoy its legendary bourbons. We'll offer deals throughout the evening on Horse Soldier Bourbon, from tasting samples to drink specials.

Horse Soldier is a brand that was created by some of the Green Berets that went into war on horseback after the 9/11 attacks on the US. Only 48 hours before deployment, the soldiers learned they would navigate Afghanistan's rugged terrain on horseback. This was just one of the unforeseen challenges of the mission known as Task Force Dagger, which required adaptability at every turn. Almost two decades following the triumphs of Task Force Dagger, a team of retired Special Operators including Scott Neil, Rob Schaefer, Mark Nutsch, Bob Pennington, Tyler Garner, John Koko, and Elizabeth Pritchard-Koko embarked on a new venture by establishing the American Freedom Distillery. This quintessentially American enterprise is renowned for its Horse Soldier Bourbon, an acclaimed spirit encased in bottles formed from molds of steel reclaimed from the World Trade Center, symbolizing a legacy of resilience and patriotism.
