About Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey
Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey is a wheated straight bourbon at 95 proof (47.5% ABV), produced by E & J Gallo Winery from MGP-sourced distillate, bottled at American Freedom Distillery. Its special appeal lies in the patriotic backstory honoring the Green Berets' heroism post-9/11, blended in small batches for complexity with notes of vanilla, ginger, cherries, caramel, and toasted oak. Ideal for history buffs, veterans, and approachable bourbon newcomers seeking a smooth, full-bodied sipper without rye's bite. At $52.50 for 750ml, it offers solid value in the small batch category—sweeter and gentler than rye-heavy peers like Maker's Mark, though some note off-notes like acetone; others praise its balance and awards like Double Gold at the 2022 SFWSC. Versatile for neat sipping or cocktails, it stands out for storytelling over extreme depth.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Aromas evoke sweet corn, vanilla, ginger, and ripe cherries, with floral hints of prunes and walnuts adding lush depth. Subtle butterscotch and lightly roasted nuts mingle with spice like white pepper and nutmeg. Some detect toasted grain and faint acetone.
👅 Palate
The mouthfeel is oily and full-bodied, delivering creamy toffee, caramel, dark fruits like prunes and apricots, and toasted oak. Warm spices—cinnamon, ginger, black pepper—balance vanilla sweetness and roasted corn, with a mild bite evolving into nutty richness. It's approachable and sweet-forward, ideal for easy sipping.
✨ Finish
Medium-long with lingering oak, warm baking spices, and a Kentucky hug of caramel heat. Subtle pepper and vanilla fade pleasantly, though faint acetone may persist for some.
