Horse Soldier Reserve Barrel Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey represents the pinnacle of American bourbon craftsmanship. This exceptional whiskey is a testament to both tradition and innovation, with a unique "wheated" bourbon profile that sets it apart. Crafted with precision, it has matured for an impressive 6-8 years in new American oak barrels, allowing it to develop its character and depth over time. What makes this bourbon truly distinctive is the inclusion of soft red winter wheat in the recipe, contributing intriguing layers of complexity and nuance to this quintessential American spirit. Notably, the barrel strength offering is uncut and non-chill filtered, preserving its raw and unadulterated essence.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a wheated straight bourbon bottled at barrel strength, uncut and non-chill filtered, after six to eight years in new charred American oak. The corn-dominant mash bill includes soft red winter wheat, and you feel it in the glass: a velvety texture that carries caramel, toffee and vanilla on the nose, then dark chocolate, toasted nuts and butterscotch on the palate, with baking spice and a touch of black pepper keeping the sweetness honest. Because it is uncut, it suits the drinker who already knows they like bourbon and wants to meet it at full volume, ideally neat, with a few drops of water on hand if you want to see how it opens. It also earns a spot at a tasting night alongside other bourbons, where its soft-but-bold contrast stands out. We carry it from American Freedom Distillery because it delivers what a barrel-strength wheater should: richness and intensity without losing that plush wheat texture, plus a long finish that rewards slow sipping.
Pairs well with
- Braised short ribs — The bourbon's caramel sweetness and black pepper bite stand up to rich, slow-cooked beef.
- Dark chocolate desserts — The dark chocolate and toasted nut notes on the palate echo and deepen a bittersweet dessert.
- Bourbon tasting night with friends — Its plush wheated texture and barrel-strength intensity make a memorable contrast when poured alongside other bourbons.
