-------
Pre-orders for this bottle will occur until October 14, 2024. After that time period, the orders will be made, and they will ship around November 5, 2024. This gives the distillery time to create bottles for the first batch of orders. Any orders after the pre-order time will take approximately 3 weeks for customers to receive their bottles. We appreciate your patience, as the bottles are all handmade!
*21+ OR OLDER ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED* - A 21+ or Older Adult Signature is required at the time of delivery. If you do not have someone there to sign for the bottle at delivery or coordinate with UPS to pick it up at one of their locations, it will be returned to the distillery, and you will be assessed an additional $25 shipping fee if you request to have it sent back out to you.

On June 2nd, 2024, at 7:20 p.m., two tornadoes struck Sanderson, TX, leaving in their path a wake of destruction, pain, and suffering.
U.S. Border Patrol Agent Edgar Barraza is one of those people caught in the path of the larger of the two (NOAA EF-3) tornadoes. Edgar had served in the United States Navy before joining the U.S. Border Patrol. Edgar had just moved to Sanderson after completing the U.S. Border Patrol Academy and was beginning to learn his new job after recently completing the Border Patrol’s Field Training Program. Edgar was inside his residence when tragedy struck. Edgar was ripped from his residence and tossed over 200 yards from his home where rescuers found him.
Clinging to life, his fellow brothers in Green along with other law enforcement began to work to stabilize him and get him to a higher level of care that he desperately needed. Edgar suffered from extensive injuries all over his body, internal as well as external. Doctors have been working tirelessly to keep him stable and tackle one life-threatening injury at a time. The fact is that Edgar has a long battle to fight and needs our help!
Along with the medical bills that he will be faced with after recovery, Edgar lost his entire belongings and his vehicle. He will also be out of work for an extensive amount of time. Edgar Barraza has dedicated his life to selflessly serve his country first with the Navy and now the United States Border Patrol. Now it's time for us to give back. I am the Vice President of the Sanderson Border Patrol Station MWR (Morale Welfare and Recreation) asking everyone to please donate anything you can to help Agent Barraza during this trying time of his life.

This commemorative bottle of whiskey has been created by Liberty Call Distilling in San Diego California. The company is marine owned and a friend to all first responders. The bottle boasts superior quality work compared to other engravings because it is sandblasted, not just etched.
The whiskey is first aged in new 53 gallon medium charred American oak barrels for 2 years then rested in-barrel with Chilean Amburana Oak staves. They’ve created a uniquely sweet, yet spicy bourbon whiskey. With hints of gingerbread and fresh vanilla on the nose, there is a pronounced sweetness on the palate while showing touches of oak, spice cake, nutmeg, and light brown sugar.
The bottles can be shipped across the United States except for the restricted states of Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Utah, and Virginia.
