Tasting Notes
Aged 9 years >> 102 Proof >> Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
MASH BILL
75% Corn, 13% Rye, 12% Malted Barley
APPEARANCE
Beautiful, rich deep Amber in color, with slow lingering legs in the glass, validating an excellent, fully matured whiskey.
AROMA
Wow! Such an amazing caramel delicacy. Vanilla bean, toasted oak, with hints of chocolate, marzipan and old Leather (like your old baseball glove).
TASTE
Exquisite complexity of sweet caramel, honey, toffee, maple, dried dark fruit, complemented with the right balance of vanilla, cinnamon and oak lactones.
FINISH
The never-ending story! A long, delightful, sweet finish, fully coating the lips and every taste bud with a creamy mouth-feel, balanced with just enough oak dryness to enhance the delectable sweet notes, ending with a soft “Kentucky Hug”, as it passes down your throat.
Commemorating 250 Years of the United States Army, Navy & Marines
Introducing Four Branches Bourbon: The Continental – Army, Navy & Marines, a limited-edition release created to honor the 250th anniversary of America’s first three military branches. Crafted in small batches and steeped in meaning, this exclusive expression pays tribute to those who have defended our nation for generations.
Four Branches is the only spirits company founded by veterans of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. With over 100 years of combined service, we embarked on a mission to honor those who serve in the shadows.

The Continental Army, Navy and Marines
US Army - Est. June 14, 1775
Formed to defend a free and independent nation, the Continental Army laid the foundation for today’s U.S. Army. These citizen soldiers shaped a legacy of liberty, unity, and service that continues in every soldier who serves at home and around the world.
US Navy - Est. October 13, 1775
Created to protect American waters, the Continental Navy launched a tradition of strength and sea power. For 250 years, U.S. sailors have answered the call—safeguarding freedom across the globe and standing watch in every ocean.
US Marines - Est. November 10, 1775
Built for battle on land and sea, the Continental Marines became the elite fighting force of today’s Marine Corps. For nearly 250 years, Marines have stood ready with honor, courage, and commitment—serving wherever and whenever needed.
Let customers speak for us
So I was able to get it in time to share with a bunch of other vets across the great state of Texas as we enjoy our state convention. No a single person had heard of them but now they are fighting to drink it. Some even asked if they could but my bottle I have left as they did not want to wait to order it as it’s not in Texas yet.
Smooth going down.
I bought this for a friend and she let me know when it arrived and how impressed she was with the packaging!! Great job 4 Branches!!
Bought a signed bottle at a concert but decided to order a second bottle and keep the signed one in tact. Cracked it open on Memorial Day to honor those that have served and never came home and those that we’ve lost after returning. To my surprise this bourbon was very good! Like all new bourbons I try, I start neat to fully enjoy its full flavor. I thought it was smooth and clean. I later tried it in my glass with ice and definitely preferred it chilled but it was good both ways! I highly recommend it, definitely a contender for a new favorite for me!
Had a neighbor who just graduated NROTC commissioned into the Navy. Bought a bottle for him and explained the need to celebrate with your “Brothers” those special things. He’s headed to flight school in Pensacola next. Thanks for a great bourbon with a great backstory.
Great bourbon to sip on neat. Also
Makes a great old fashioned. Will purchase again.
I bought this for my son for Christmas last year. He has been singing its praises since the first time he tasted it. Just bought him another bottle for his birthday.
The taste profile is incredible, but the meaning is so much more! Sip to Remember
This one of the best bourbon I rank it in my top five.
Delicious. Had a couple of ozs with a ice ball in my Artisan Oak cup. Very nice, smooth with a nice back end hit for me.
Thanks, do you have plans to get on NC list for distribution?
