History of Iron Horse Bourbon
When U.S. Army Green Beret Scott Neil answered his countrys call where he was inserted into battle on horseback, he never could have imagined that he and retired members of the U.S. Special Forces would later create an all-American, ultra-premium whiskey. Their bravery earned Neil and his team the moniker of “Horse Soldiers” and later inspired the retired members of the U.S. Special Forces to create an award-winning bourbon. Horse Soldier Bourbon was created in 2015 based on three core elements – building an authentic team, using all-American ingredients and products, and making an award-winning bourbon. Their three bourbons include the Straight Bourbon, Small Batch Bourbon and Barrel Strength Bourbon, along with limited edition annual expressions like the high-end Commander’s Select Limited Edition Release. They hold more than 30 awards, including three Double Gold Medals at the San Francisco International Spirits Competition. The team will soon be opening a $200 million tourism distillery development project known as Horse Soldier Farms in Somerset, Kentucky. The venue will feature everything from a massive 27,585-square foot distillery visitor center, an amphitheater, adventure center, wedding chapel, luxury lodge with cabins and a retail village.
