Get ready to embark on a journey through history and whiskey-making as St. Cloud Levee Liquor proudly presents the “Horse Soldier – Whiskey and War Stories” event on Thursday, December 14th from 7pm – 8:30pm in the St. Cloud Chamber of Commerce Boardroom. Featuring special guest Rob Schaefer, co-founder, and owner of Horse Soldier Bourbon, the evening will offer a unique blend of whiskey tasting along with tales from his remarkable military career and the story behind his exceptional bourbon.
Rob Schaefer is not your typical whiskey entrepreneur; he is a retired Special-Ops Army Green Beret who was among the first soldiers to enter Afghanistan after the tragic events of 9/11 and has also served as a US Diplomat. Schaefer’s career is filled with incredible feats and an unshakable commitment to his country.
The origins of Horse Soldier Bourbon are steeped in history. Just days after the September 11th attacks, elite teams of Green Berets were deployed into Afghanistan, with some embarking on their mission on horseback. These courageous soldiers became known as the “Horse Soldiers.” Their extraordinary exploits have been recounted in the Hollywood blockbuster “12 Strong,” the CNN documentary “Legion of Brothers,” and commemorated by the iconic America’s Response Monument at Ground Zero in New York City. The Horse Soldiers’ story is one of bravery, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of America.
Horse Soldier Bourbon is proudly bottled in the heartland of America and aged to perfection.
In 2022, Horse Soldier Bourbon achieved the remarkable feat of winning double gold three times at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a testament to its outstanding craftsmanship and flavor profile.
St. Cloud’s Levee Liquor “Horse Soldier – Whiskey and War Stories” event at the St. Cloud Chamber Boardroom will be an opportunity to connect with history, meet a true American hero, and savor the exceptional flavors of Horse Soldier Bourbon.
The ticketed Levee Liquor event will include heavy appetizers, guided whiskey tasting, and a bottle of Horse Soldier Bourbon signed by Rob Schaefer to take home. The cost of the event is $69.95 per person.
Don’t miss out on this chance to raise a glass to honor Rob Schaefer and to enjoy Horse Soldier Bourbon.
