About this Event
Whiskey & War Stories at Steel Creek
Steel Creek invites you to Whiskey & War Stories—an evening rooted in heritage, sacrifice, and exceptional bourbon. Join us Thursday, April 2nd from 6PM–8PM for a rare opportunity to experience Horse Soldier Bourbon alongside the story that inspired it. Crafted by U.S. Army Green Berets who served on the ground in Afghanistan following 9/11, this is more than a tasting—it’s a reflection of resilience, brotherhood, and duty.
We’re honored to host Vince Makela of Horse Soldier Bourbon, who will share the history behind the brand and the men who lived it. Guests will enjoy guided samples of three Double Gold award-winning expressions while hearing firsthand accounts that bring meaning to every pour. This is a night designed for those who appreciate not only fine whiskey, but the story and service behind it.
