Horse Soldier Bourbon is from Somerset-Pulaski County in Kentucky. This is the place that we, the team behind Horse Soldier Bourbon, call home. Kentucky, also known as the Bluegrass state, is renowned for its rich history and tradition in bourbon production. It is a place where bourbon is more than just a drink, it is a way of life.
For many of us at Horse Soldier Bourbon, our connection to Kentucky runs deep. We were born and raised in this beautiful state, surrounded by rolling hills, fertile land, and a community that cherishes its bourbon heritage. The love for bourbon runs in our veins, and it was this passion that led us to create Horse Soldier Bourbon.
But our journey to Somerset-Pulaski County and the birth of Horse Soldier Bourbon was not a straight path. It was during a training mission on the Cumberland River, after the first World Trade Center tower was hit, that our call to arms was sounded. We were members of the U.S. Special Forces, and our duty was to protect and serve our country.
After our service, we found ourselves longing for a new purpose, a new mission. And that's when we discovered our love for bourbon. We realized that the craftsmanship, dedication, and attention to detail required to create a fine bourbon were similar to the skills we had honed as soldiers. It was a natural fit for us.
We set out on a quest to create a bourbon that would not only honor our military heritage but also showcase the unique flavors and characteristics of Kentucky. We wanted to create a bourbon that would stand out, not just for its taste, but for the story behind it.
And so, Horse Soldier Bourbon was born in Somerset-Pulaski County, Kentucky. We chose this location because it is at the heart of bourbon country, where the limestone-rich water and ideal climate combine to create the perfect conditions for producing exceptional bourbon.
But our connection to Somerset-Pulaski County goes beyond just the geographical location. It is a place where we found a sense of community and support as we embarked on this new venture. The people of Somerset-Pulaski County welcomed us with open arms, embracing our vision and supporting us every step of the way.
In this close-knit community, we found the resources and expertise needed to craft our bourbon. We worked closely with local farmers to source the finest grains, and we partnered with a local distillery to bring our vision to life. It was a collaborative effort that truly captures the spirit of Kentucky.
Today, Horse Soldier Bourbon proudly bears the name of Somerset-Pulaski County, a testament to our roots and the community that helped shape us. Our bourbon embodies the values of hard work, dedication, and resilience that are synonymous with Kentucky and its people.
