The Wamego Whiskey Syndicate is proud to welcome Horse Soldier Bourbon to Kansas! Attend a special presentation of “Whiskey and War Stories” with Kansas native and former

Special Forces Major Mark Nutsch.

Days after 9/11, America responded with a daring insertion of a Green Beret team into Afghanistan. They spearheaded unconventional warfare operations while mounted on horseback, fighting alongside their Afghan allies. Mark’s team became known as the “Horse Soldiers”, their exploits are portrayed in books and in the Hollywood blockbuster “12 Strong”. These brave men are honored today by the “America’s Response Monument” at Ground Zero in New York City.

Mark and his retired team mates joined up again as entrepreneurs to form American Freedom Distillery and produce their premium line of craft Horse Soldier Bourbons. Their award-winning spirits are bottled in custom glass forged by steel recovered from the World Trade Center to commemorate those lives lost and never forgotten.

At this one of a kind Whiskey and War Stories event, Mark will present a tasting of the full line of multiple award-winning Horse Soldier Bourbons including their Double Gold award winning Commander’s Select; experience a behind the scenes multi-media presentation sharing the insight to America’s response to 9/11 as well as the establishment of American Freedom Distillery.

The night will include a tasting of each of the four award-winning Horse Soldier Bourbon selections during the Whiskey and War Stories event, a cocktail or straight pour at the after party, as well as appetizers before and after the tasting.

A bottle of Premium Straight Horse Soldier Bourbon is reserved for you. It can be picked up prior to the event Thursday, Feb 13, at Spirits of 76 from 4-7 PM. Mark Nutsch will be available to autograph your bottle at The Columbian.
