"As a proud American and a distiller, I’m thankful for our Fort Campbell neighbors, along with our military, first responders, and all who stand watch — protecting the 250 years it took to build this country," said Arlon Casey Jones, founder and master distiller. "When I pour this bourbon, I’m reminded of where it all started and what still holds us together. United we stand."
