Green River Distilling Co. has debuted the official bourbon of the Army’s 250th Anniversary with an exciting first-of-its-kind new product “drop” from thousands of feet in the air.
The ‘first sip‘ ceremony featured an all-Veteran parachute team catapulting through the sky to deliver the first bottle to a group of veterans and active-duty Army waiting on the ground. Followed by a ceremonial toast led by retired U.S. Army Colonel and Lofted Spirits CEO, Mark Erwin, this marquee moment marked the debut of Green River’s limited-edition U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Bourbon – the official whiskey honoring this historic milestone.
The new product will be available at all Green River Whiskey and Bardstown Bourbon locations and will include free personalization for all veterans and active-duty military.
Green River is led by Col. (ret.) Mark Erwin, CEO, who served in the U.S. Army for more than 25 years and commanded at every level of the Special Forces. A portion of proceeds from sales will directly enhance quality of life for soldiers and their families through investments in wellbeing, sports, fitness, libraries, entertainment and recreation. Lofted Spirits annually contributes to a number of charitable causes that support and honor the Armed Forces including The Special Operations Warrior Foundation, the Special Operations Fund, USA Cares and the Bardstown-Nelson County Veterans Memorial.
