Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey

Small Batch is the signature everyday expression from Horse Soldier — the distillery founded by the actual Green Berets who rode on horseback into northern Afghanistan in the days after 9/11, whose story inspired the film 12 Strong and the America's Response Monument at Ground Zero. The founders turned to distilling in 2015 after a Yellowstone trip sparked the idea, and every bottle in the line is pressed from steel molds forged from World Trade Center steel — a genuinely singular piece of American memorial craft. Small Batch bottles at 95 proof (47.5% ABV), sitting between the approachable Straight Bourbon and the uncut Barrel Strength in the lineup. Expect a comforting nose of butterscotch, ginger, and cherries, moving into caramel, nutmeg, vanilla, and oak on the palate, with a warm, gently spiced finish that stays smooth at this proof. Reception is honestly mixed on value: fans praise the balance and easy drinkability, while one detailed community reviewer compared its high-spice character favorably to Old Grand-Dad but found earlier batches young for the price against competitors like Knob Creek — a fair note as the brand's own distillate matures. What nobody disputes is the story, the presentation, and the mission: a veteran-founded brand honoring service men and women with every pour. A natural gift bottle and a solid session sipper.
