Horse Soldier Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey
117 proof NAS Bourbon Horse Soldier St. Petersburg, FL $79–$89 65% corn, 30% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose

Soft, sweet, and spicy with a gentle quality despite the high proof.

Palate

Fruity with sweetness that doesn't overwhelm; white pepper spice that tingles on the palate and stays in the mouth; the heat is appropriate for the proof without knocking you back.

Finish

Spice sits on the back of the tongue and sides of the mouth like pop rocks; minimal heat-driven hug but with persistent peppery notes.

Above average
A well-balanced, high-proof bourbon with restrained spice and fruity sweetness that delivers complexity without harsh burn.
