Distillery Information

Horse Soldier Bourbon comes from the American Freedom Distillery, located in St. Petersberg, Florida. Founded by veterans, the Florida location is where they make rum and other spirits. The bourbon is distilled in Ohio in conjunction with Middle West Spirits.
Koko, Pritchard-Koko, and Neil first decided to create the Kentucky-based American Freedom Distillery — the distiller of Horse Soldier Bourbon — after tasting remarkable whiskey at a distillery in Driggs, Idaho.ODA 595's three-week horseback military operation earned them the moniker “Horse Soldiers,” and the name stuck. Years later, in 2015, military veterans John Koko and Scott Neil, alongside designer Elizabeth Pritchard-Koko, founded Horse Soldier Bourbon.Barrell Whiskey 004 was distilled in Indiana and Tennessee and aged for 11 years in used American oak barrels, then finished in rum casks and rye barrels and bottled in Kentucky at 120.6 proof. We selected barrels of a Tennessee bourbon and an Indiana whiskey for this batch.
John Koko has been on an incredible journey. From elite warrior to elite bourbon maker, he has approached his life and career with grit, determination and the ability to adapt, traits seen in many Stetson alumni.
