Horse Soldier Commanders Select VI 750ml

Horse Soldier Bourbon® Commander’s Select VI is a distinguished and limited release curated by the U.S. Army Green Berets who earned the name “Horse Soldiers” for their heroic horseback insertion into northern Afghanistan just days after 9/11. This extraordinary act of bravery inspired the creation of Horse Soldier Bourbon, and the Commander’s Select VI release continues this legacy. Aged for 12 years in a single Bardstown rickhouse, this high-rye, barrel-proof bourbon is carefully selected and meticulously blended, making it a premium offering that celebrates life’s legendary moments.

This release was aged for 12 years in a Bardstown rickhouse, allowing the bourbon to develop a rich, complex profile. A high-rye mashbill delivers a grain-forward bourbon with bold rye spice, bottled at barrel-proof for a full-bodied experience. A deep, charred barrel (#4) helps develop rich caramel and toffee flavors with layers of complexity.

As the sixth release of the Commander’s Select series, this bottle is a collector’s item, created to commemorate significant and legendary moments. Crafted by the U.S. Army Green Berets whose story was depicted in the Hollywood movie 12 Strong, this bourbon reflects their commitment to excellence and bravery.

Grain-forward with a distinct pop of rye spice, followed by rich aromas of caramelized toffee and nutty undertones. On the palate, the bourbon reveals a bold and nutty character with notes of roasted nuts, caramelized toffee, and subtle hints of fruit that add a light layer of complexity. The finish is long and balanced, showcasing the rye spice alongside lingering notes of caramel, toffee, and a touch of fruit.
