The Distillery Story

Horse Soldier Bourbon, from American Freedom Distillery, located in St. Petersburg, Florida, emerges from a profound history. Established in 2019 by U.S. Special Forces veterans, the "Horse Soldiers," it stands as a tribute to the unwavering spirit of those who served on horseback in Afghanistan, fighting against the Taliban. This foundation molds their mission: to craft spirits that embody precision, dedication, and the resilience mirrored in their military service. Distinguished by its distillation method, Horse Soldier Distillery utilizes a custom-built, all-copper pot still for its small-batch, handcrafted spirits. This unique approach ensures unmatched purity and a depth of flavor, marking each bottle with the excellence of the Horse Soldier legacy. The distillation style center stages meticulous aging in American oak barrels, honing a rich and complex profile across their beverages. The distillery's portfolio features a straight bourbon whiskey, a small-batch bourbon, and a barrel strength bourbon, each celebrated for their bold yet smooth character. Beyond bourbon, Horse Soldier also crafts premium vodka and a limited-edition rum, expanding their offering while maintaining their core commitment to quality and integrity. This dedication to crafting superior spirits with historical significance sets Horse Soldier Distillery apart in the industry, honoring history with every pour.
