About this bottle
Horse Soldier's Forged in Fire Reserve line bottles its bourbon uncut and unfiltered at true cask strength, skipping the water-down step most bourbon goes through before release. The brand was founded by twelve Green Berets who rode horseback into Afghanistan in the days after September 11, the soldiers behind the "America's Response Monument" near Ground Zero, whose bottle stoppers incorporate salvaged World Trade Center steel. Since every bottle comes from one barrel, proof varies release to release — this one sits at 123. Expect heavy oak, dark caramel, and genuine heat rather than a smoothed-out pour. It suits drinkers who want a true single-barrel, cask-strength bourbon with a serious veteran-owned story.
How to drink Horse Soldier Forged in Fire (123)
Neat with a few drops of water is the move here — at this proof, water opens the whiskey up rather than watering it down.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Horse Soldier Forged in Fire (Proof 123)?
Add a few drops of water and sip it neat — at barrel strength it's worth easing the proof down to taste.
What does "uncut" mean on this bottle?
It's bottled straight from the barrel at cask strength without dilution, so the proof — 123 here — varies barrel to barrel rather than being cut to a standard number.
What's the story behind Horse Soldier Bourbon?
Horse Soldier was founded by U.S. Special Forces soldiers who rode on horseback into Afghanistan after 9/11 — the mission the film "12 Strong" is based on — and a piece of World Trade Center steel is worked into the neck of each bottle's cap.
