Pre-orders for this bottle will occur until November 18, 2024. After that time, we will make the orders and ship them around December 11, 2024. This gives the distillery time to create bottles for the first batch of orders. Orders placed after the pre-order time will take about 3 weeks to arrive. We appreciate your patience, as the bottles are all handmade!
A 21+ or older adult must provide a signature at the time of delivery. UPS will attempt delivery three times. If no one is there to sign for the bottle at delivery, UPS will return it to the store. If you want us to send it back to you, we will charge a $25 reshipment fee. You can change your delivery with UPS after they leave the door tag on the first attempt.

Police Officer Darrin Reed was shot and killed after responding to a suspicious person call.
Officer Reed and other officers responded to a suspicions person call at a motel but were unable to locate the subject. They were called back to the location after leaving the initial call. When Officer Reed and other officers arrived, they located the man who then fled on foot. During the ensuing pursuit, the man produced a handgun and fired, striking Officer Reed.
Officer Reed was transported to a local hospital where he later died from his wounds.
The subject fled the scene and was later located in the Pinetop-Lakeside area, where he was barricaded in a cabin with a teenage hostage. After several hours of negotiation, the subject was shot and killed in an exchange of gunfire.
Officer Reed was a U.S. Air Force veteran. He had served with the Show Low Police Department for 10 years and had previously served with the Navajo County Sheriff's Office for 10 years. Officer Reed is survived by his wife and two children.

Liberty Call Distillery in San Diego, California, creates this commemorative bottle. The company is marine-owned and a friend to all first responders. The bottle is superior to other engravings. It is sandblasted, not just etched, and pays true honor to every fallen first responder it is created for.
The whiskey is first aged in new 53-gallon, medium-charred American oak barrels for 2 years. Then, it is rested in-barrel with Chilean Amburana oak staves. It creates a uniquely sweet, yet spicy bourbon whiskey. It has hints of gingerbread and fresh vanilla on the nose. There is a pronounced sweetness on the palate. It shows touches of oak, spice cake, nutmeg, and light brown sugar.
The bottles can be shipped across the U.S., except Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Michigan, Mississippi, and Utah.
