SOMERSET, KY (March 25, 2026) – Horse Soldier Bourbon, the award-winning spirit born from the legacy of the post-9/11 Green Beret “Horse Soldiers,” has announced its most prestigious release to date: Liberty Edition. This 13-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon commemorates the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, blending elite craftsmanship with a mission of historic preservation.
Limited to exactly 1,776 bottles, the Liberty Edition ($799 SRP) is bottled at 100 proof after over a decade of aging in new American oak. Each bottle is a collector’s masterpiece, featuring bespoke French glass, an antiqued copper label, and a radiant gold flame closure.
In keeping with the brand’s commitment to service, a portion of every sale will be donated to the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Foundation.
“This release signals that our next chapter is defined by performance,” said Scott Neil, President of Horse Soldier Bourbon. “It honors where we’ve come from while marking a new azimuth in our journey. Liberty Edition is about craftsmanship and focus.”
The launch coincides with the final countdown to the grand opening of Horse Soldier Farms in Somerset, KY, scheduled for July 4, 2026. This state-of-the-art destination will serve as the brand’s long-term home, featuring high-capacity production, luxury hospitality, and community-focused event spaces.
