Horse Soldier Bourbon Distillery & Visitor Center

Horse Soldier Bourbon is a brand developed by former Special Forces soldiers, the first into Afghanistan on horseback following the events of 9/11. Phase 1 of Horse Soldier Farms, the home of production for Horse Soldier Bourbon, is now underway and slated for completion in 2024.

Horse Soldier Farms will be much more than a distillery, with proposed retired horse farm, family friendly activities, retail-like shopping, and eateries. The project is not just a stop on the bourbon trail, it’s a destination. EOP is proud to join the project as Architect of Record, collaborating with architects Rogers, Stirk, Harbours + Partners, BRC Imagination Arts, and a host of expert consultants to create a Bourbon Distillery & Visitor experience like no other.
