Firefighter's Reserve 343 is an 8-year-old single barrel bourbon distilled in Kentucky, bottled at 48% ABV (96 proof).
Its label is 'bottled in honor' of the 343 firefighters lost on September 11, 2001, marking the 25th remembrance.
Firefighter's Reserve bourbons are aged in the high-desert climate of the Cascade Mountains.
The brand donates proceeds from sales to support firefighters and their families, in partnership with the Life Scan Wellness Foundation.
With its red-and-gold firefighter badge label, it is a meaningful gift for a firefighter, a first responder or anyone who wants to honour their service.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
