Description

Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Horse Soldier Bourbon (American Freedom Distillery), a veteran-founded brand, the Liberty Edition was created to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States.
This expression is a 13-year Kentucky straight bourbon, aged in new charred American oak barrels (#4 char), allowing for deep oak integration and a fully developed flavor profile. The mashbill is a high-rye style (approx. 74% corn, 18% rye, 8% malted barley), contributing to its spice-forward character.
Bottled at 100 proof, the whiskey is designed to balance richness and intensity without overwhelming the palate.
Production is extremely limitedjust 1,776 bottles worldwide, reinforcing its collectible status and tying directly to American independence symbolism.
The presentation is central to the release:
- Bespoke French glass (a nod to the Statue of Libertys origin)
- Antiqued copper label inspired by the monuments structure
- Gold flame closure symbolizing Lady Libertys torch
A portion of proceeds supports the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Foundation, adding a philanthropic layer to the release.
