The other scoreboard.

This board counts bottles. The back label is for the score that settles the argument this time around – written in by hand on 12.12.2026, and kept long after the whiskey is gone.

The bottles

One whiskey.
Two allegiances.

A wheated straight bourbon crafted from 70% organic corn, 20% wheat, and 10% Vienna malt. Aged 3.5 years and bottled at 85 proof. Soft and balanced, with just a hint of toast from the Vienna malt, this bourbon is made to be enjoyed by newcomers and longtime bourbon drinkers alike. The mash bill in both bottles is the same. Everyone who pours one wins. Only one side wins on the scoreboard.

A limited release for the Army and Navy rivalry, settled 12.12.2026.

Who's behind it

Veteran owned.
Personally invested.

Co-owner and distiller Chris Moyer is a veteran. His son Adam was commissioned as a lieutenant this year and is stationed at Fort Benning.

That's Chris's signature on the band of every bottle that leaves this building. Both sides of the board. You can probably guess which one he's pulling for.

Why we're doing this

from every bottle goes to the Special Forces Foundation

The Foundation supports service members and the families who carry the weight at home. We're glad to hand them the proceeds and let the two of you argue about the rest.

Both sides are playing for the same team.
