WHISKEY FOR WARRIORS
Brother Justus Drops a Patriotic Pour Honoring America’s Red Bulls
When grit meets grain, you get something as bold and unwavering as the warriors it honors. Brother Justus Whiskey Company, the Minneapolis distillery known for its uncompromising American Single Malt, is launching two limited-edition whiskeys this year that do more than warm your chest; they honor the storied legacy of America’s 34th “Red Bull” Infantry Division.
Born from Battlefields and Brotherhood
The 34th Infantry Division has etched its mark across the globe, from Gettysburg to Iraq. Known as the “Red Bulls,” this division has stood tall in the most decisive moments in American military history. And now, their legacy is being celebrated not with medals or parades, but with two exceptional expressions of whiskey: The Commander’s Own and The Commander’s Cut.
Crafted in partnership with the Commander’s Own Chapter of the 34th Infantry Division Association, these whiskeys channel both heritage and craftsmanship into every pour. The collaboration isn’t just symbolic, it’s a tangible way to give back. A portion of the proceeds will fund scholarships for soldiers and their families, continuing the Red Bulls’ tradition of sacrifice through support.
The Commander’s Own
Released in late May, this American whiskey is bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof), and it’s a sensory salute to valor:
Nose: Mandarin orange, oyster, custard, and toffee
Palate: Clove, coffee, toasted malt, and vanilla
Finish: Butter, sea brine, geranium, and cherry
Made from 100% Minnesota malted barley and aged in white oak barrels, this whiskey blends barrels aged up to three years with younger spirits to create a robust yet nuanced flavor profile. At $72.99, it’s not just a bottle, it’s a badge of honor.
Coming This Fall: The Commander’s Cut
Set for release in November, this expression promises a bolder, possibly higher-proof take, crafted for those who like their whiskey the way their heroes lived: intense and uncompromising.
Brother Justus: Craft, Courage, and Cold Peat
Founded in 2014, Brother Justus Whiskey Company takes its name from a Benedictine monk who once turned adversity into opportunity by teaching struggling farmers to distill. Today, the distillery remains just as rebellious, using locally sourced ingredients and American peat to create award-winning spirits that push boundaries.
From their Cold-Peated® Single Malt to the world's first unaged Silver Whiskey, Brother Justus has made waves in a sea of sameness. And now, they’re making a stand with whiskey that remembers.
Drink With Purpose
A toast to the Red Bulls with a glass of The Commander’s Own! For those who respect history, love a great pour, and believe that honor should never go out of style, this release is more than a collectible; it’s a commitment.
