Sam Houston 15 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon

n

Sam Houston’s life was that of a true legend and patriot. He ran away from home at a young age. For a short time, he lived with a Cherokee tribe in the Hiwassee River area. Eventually, he was given the name Colonneh, meaning the Raven, and adopted into the tribe as Chief John Jolly’s son.

n

He grew up to be a fierce soldier and strategist. At one point, with a small out-numbered, under-supplied force, his men defeated the Mexican general Santa Anna. Houston’s men suffered few casualties, but a stray bullet shattered his ankle. The decisive victory forced Santa Anna to sign the Treaty of Velasco, granting Texas its independence.

n

Sam Houston was well-respected as one of the great political men of his day, serving as a congressman, a governor and twice as the president of the Republic of Texas. He was brutally honest and a man of principle.

This premium, perfectly aged, well-crafted bourbon is offered in tribute to the life of Sam Houston, an honest and patriotic man.
