The Horse Soldier Story [Video]

Horse Soldier is an American spirit that exemplifies the American spirit: a company built from the ground up that since its founding in 2016, has rapidly become one of the fastest-growing bourbon brands in the world.

But this isn’t just a story of American entrepreneurship. Horse Soldier has a legacy as a bourbon that’s not just crafted for patriots, but by patriots. The company was created by the Green Berets who, just days after 9/11, entered Afghanistan on horseback — a story of courage commemorated by Hollywood, with the brave soldiers going down as heroes in American history. 

According to co-founder and president Scott Neil, the friends and veterans discovered a passion for bourbon during their time spent stationed together in Kentucky. Over the last eight years, the men have committed themselves to a new collective mission with American Freedom Distillery, where they’ve combined art and science to develop a line of quality bourbons with three carefully blended varieties: Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Small Batch, and Barrel Strength. 

Pour a glass (or mix a cocktail!) of the bourbon that Neil and his fellow founders like to describe using three A’s: authentic, all-American, and award-winning. Then raise your glass and, in true Horse Soldier fashion, toast to living legendary.
