Brass & Anchor Batch 4

Batch 4 is the Liberation Release — a bourbon reclaimed under pressure and brought home by the only people with the backbone to do it. These barrels were promised, paid for, and then locked away by a bad actor who thought paperwork, threats, and noise would scare us off. Wrong team. Wrong day.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Caramel, toasted oak, brown sugar, vanilla.
Palate: Warm sweetness, mellow spice, honeyed depth, a brush of fruit.
Finish: Clean, confident, unapologetic — the kind of finish you toast victories with.

The Story

This batch comes from barrels that were supposed to be ours from the start.
Instead, they got tangled up in excuses, disappearing promises, and the kind of shady behavior that makes your blood boil.

When the dust settled, our bourbon was stuck behind a door controlled by someone who didn’t honor their word — someone who thought holding our whiskey hostage over a bogus claim would make us fold.

He forgot who he was dealing with.

We’re veterans.
We don’t bluff.
We don’t rattle.
And we damn sure don’t leave our gear — or our barrels — behind.

So one of our own stepped up, bought a ticket, flew across the country, and walked straight into that facility with the calm confidence of someone who’s been in hotter situations than a warehouse dispute. He wasn’t alone — other burned clients were there for the same reason.

Phones rang. Voices rose. Threats flew.
Law enforcement showed up ready for a story — and left after deciding this was a civil issue, not a criminal one.

Which meant one thing:

Our bourbon was going home.

No arrests.
No apologies.
Just a quiet, veteran-style extraction under pressure… and 4 liberated barrels rolling back into our hands.

We blended them with intent, discipline, and the same stubborn streak that got them back in the first place. Batch 4 is the whiskey born from that moment — a tribute to standing your ground, handling business, and refusing to let anyone hold what’s yours.

This release is dedicated to the warriors who fight for what’s right, the degenerates who show up when it counts, and the crew who never backs down.

Celebrating Freedom. One Sip at a Time.
