Recently got this from The World Whiskey Society. Probably one of the coolest bourbon bottles I’ve ever seen.
Read the book the horse soldiers. Wow!That is pretty cool. While not as obvious, Horse Soldier Bourbon bottle labels have a cool story behind them. They are embossed metal, not a sticker.
Horse Soldier was started by a couple Special Forces guys who were the first in after 9/11. Like, only weeks later before we really put large scale boots on the ground. They were hooked up with locals in the mountain region of Afghanistan. Terrain so rugged they had to ride horses to get where they needed to go.
Anyway, with that background, when they decided to create the brand, they wanted something to commemorate the twin towers. So they purchased some of the structural steel from WTC and had it melted down to create the molds for the labels. So every label on the shelf has been stamped and formed by WTC steel.
I have two. I opened one. It’s a fantastic bourbon. Not just a pretty bottle. I’d pay $125 again for it. I’ve had it three times. Twice neat and once with some ice. Neat it was full of flavor and just perfect. With ice, the flavor fell off some but still really good.I saw this yesterday in the small liquor store in Grabill, IN. The clerk was all hyped up about it. IT IS a cool bottle, but has anyone tasted it? I'm too tight to buy a "pretty' bottle of crap booze. If i remember it was not bargain priced (not sure but want to say over $100, maybe $129 or $139/bottle). If anyone has tasted it please let us know.
MMM nice...., uh, can I borrow $125?I have two. I opened one. It’s a fantastic bourbon. Not just a pretty bottle. I’d pay $125 again for it. I’ve had it three times.
