About this bottle
Horse Soldier Forged in Fire Reserve is the barrel-strength, uncut and unfiltered line from Horse Soldier Bourbon, the brand founded by twelve Green Berets who rode on horseback into Afghanistan in the weeks after September 11 — the soldiers memorialized in the "America's Response Monument" near Ground Zero, whose bottle stoppers are cast partly from salvaged World Trade Center steel. Each Forged in Fire release is a single barrel bottled at its natural cask strength rather than cut down with water, so proof varies bottle to bottle — this one lands at 123.9. Expect big oak, dark caramel, and real heat rather than a smoothed-out standard-proof pour. It suits bourbon drinkers who want a genuine cask-strength barrel pick with a serious veteran-owned story behind it.
How to drink Horse Soldier Forged in Fire (123.9)
Add a splash of water to open it up before sipping neat — at cask strength like this, a few drops changes the whiskey more than ice would.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Horse Soldier Forged in Fire (Proof 123.9)?
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 — 123.9 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.
