American Freedom Distillery, St. Petersburg, Fla., said its Horse Soldier Signature Bourbon will debut in Florida in time for Memorial Day.
It’s bottled in glass pressed from a mold created with steel from the World Trade Center.
This bourbon is distilled by the same special operations veterans who were inserted as small teams into Afghanistan days after the 9/11 attack. Called Horse Soldiers,they were featured in the movie 12 Strong, the CNN documentary Legion of Brothers, and memorialized by the American Response Monument located at Ground Zero in New York City.
Breakthru Beverage Group is the distributor.
The Horse Soldiers themselves handpicked every Signature barrel. They distilled it by hand in the Midwest and offer it only at an authentic 95-proof and at a barrel strength. Horse Solider Bourbon honors heritage, is handcrafted, and will hit shelves across Florida in time for Memorial Day at major liquor retailers across the state. This exceptional spirit was originally released in November sold out while setting sales records for a new craft brand.
American Freedom Distillery, in St. Pete’s eclectic downtown Warehouse Arts District, will be open for visits this summer. The 16,000 square-foot distillery will feature America Neat Grill & Whiskey House, an upscale restaurant featuring a wood fired grill, daily distillery tours, an education center on the history of bourbon in America, a retail shop and tons of events and tastings on-premise yearly.
