250 Years of History in One Bourbon
Horse Soldier Bourbon honors the “horse soldiers,” Green Berets who led the invasion of Afghanistan after 9/11 and fought the Taliban on horseback. Now, the brand is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with a special 13-year-old Bourbon – representing the 13 original colonies. We’ll talk with Horse Soldier co-founder Scott Neil about the whiskey and plans to open the Horse Soldier Distillery with a massive Fourth of July party on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Sazerac is reportedly offering $15 billion for Brown-Forman, while Uncle Nearest’s receiver says the company is insolvent and on life support from its lenders.
