Price Statistics

Description

Commander’s Select VI is one of the most serious releases in the Horse Soldier lineup—fully mature, barrel-proof, and built for experienced bourbon drinkers. It delivers dense oak, spice, and layered sweetness with real structure and intensity. This is a collector-driven bourbon that leans into power, age, and scarcity. Origins & CraftsmanshipProduced by Horse Soldier Bourbon (American Freedom Distillery), Commander’s Select VI is part of the brand’s ultra-limited Commander’s Select series, curated by the U.S. Army Green Berets behind the label. This expression is aged for approximately 12 years in a single Bardstown rickhouse, allowing for consistent maturation conditions and deep oak integration. The whiskey is crafted from a high-rye mashbill, contributing to its spice-forward structure, and is bottled at barrel proof (~51.5% ABV / 103 proof) without dilution, preserving full intensity and texture. Rather than a single barrel, this is a meticulously blended selection of top-performing barrels, chosen to create a unified but powerful profile. As with other Commander’s Select releases, scarcity and curation are central—positioning it firmly in the collectible, allocation-tier bourbon category. Tasting Profile Nose: Caramel, toasted oak, dried fruit, and baking spice with hints of cocoa and leather. Palate: Full-bodied and assertive—dark caramel, butterscotch, rye spice, and roasted oak with layered sweetness. Finish: Long and warming, with lingering spice, espresso, and deep oak complexity.
