GIG HARBOR, Wash.- Heritage Distilling Holding Company, Inc., has just released its newest limited-edition premium whiskey, the De Oppresso Liber bourbon.
This launch honors the Green Berets (U.S. Army Special Forces) with a portion of the proceeds from each bottle sold going to the Green Beret Foundation.
The whiskey is a 5-year Kentucky straight bourbon, bottled at 122 proof (61% ABV). There is an estimate to sell 5,000 bottles, with Heritage expecting to net more than $500,000 in revenue.
Per the offering, purchasing a bottle includes a free lithograph from U.S. Army veteran and Special Forces Regiment Alumnus, Michael Solovey.
$20 from each bottle sold will be donated to the Green Beret Foundation.
If all 5,000 bottles are sold, proceeds to the Green Beret Foundation will exceed $100,000.
“Our latest Special Operations Salute ‘De Oppresso Liber’ bourbon honors the more than six decades of service and sacrifice of U.S. Army Special Forces warriors, known as the Green Berets,” said Heritage Co-founder and U.S. Army Veteran Drew Kellerman.
Charlie Iacono, President and CEO of the Green Beret Foundation commented:
It was President Kennedy’s 1961 visit to Fort Bragg that marked a pivotal moment in American military history, affirming the unique role of the Green Berets and authorizing the wear of the now-iconic green beret. As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Army this year, we also proudly honor more than six decades of extraordinary service, sacrifice, and valor from generations of Green Berets. At the Green Beret Foundation, we are committed to supporting these elite warriors and their families—past, present, and future—ensuring they have the resources, opportunities, and strength to pursue all that life has to offer during and after their service to our great Nation.
Charlie Iacono, President and CEO of the Green Beret Foundation
