American Freedom Distillery, and Horse Soldier Bourbon, were created by six retired Special Forces Veterans from Tampa Bay, where they have a 16,000 square foot establishment. The bourbon itself is distilled and aged in Ohio, though, as Florida is a tad bit too warm to age bourbon properly.

Horse Soldier Small Batch is an extraordinarily complex whisky, with notes of vanilla, ginger, and cherries. It is a  “wheated” bourbon, made from small batches of meticulously blended mature whiskey. The whiskey is non-chill filtered to provide a full-bodied and decadent finish.

Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon Tasting Notes:

Aroma:  Butterscotch leads the nose on this sip as ginger snaps mingle with rich and sharp toffee candies next to a touch of vanilla, pepper, and cherry lurking underneath everything.

Palate: The taste really amps up the creaminess of the vanilla and the butteriness of the toffee, as a slight marzipan flourish arrives with a thin layer of freshly cracked black pepper and salted black licorice.

Finish: That pepper marries to the ginger as the heat levels off and fades out leading towards a finish with more of the vanilla and dry wood than anything else.

A solid, all-around good bourbon whiskey. There’s a nice balance of sweet, spice, and herbal notes that really help this shine as a great or cocktail
