Tasting Profile
What Makes It Special
-
Longevity: 15 years of barrel aging gives more integration of oak, more mellowing of harsh edges, and richer flavor complexity.
-
High Proof: At 125 proof, it provides intensity and depth, giving more flavor impact while still showing what time in barrel can do.
-
Corn-Forward Mash Bill: 99% corn gives strong sweet backbone—vanilla, maple, fruit—that’s less overshadowed by rye or malt.
-
Meaningful Back-story: Bottled in commemoration of the Battle of Mogadishu’s 28th anniversary (Oct 3, 1993), tied to the founding story of the brand and honoring service. Adds narrative weight.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions
