Warrior Dog Sergeant Stubby Whiskey 750 ml
An 8-year American Light Whiskey crafted as a tribute to Sergeant Stubby, the legendary World War I war dog. In the summer of 1917, amidst the rigorous training exercises on the grounds of Yale University, a stray brindle-coated dog with a short tail wandered into the lives of the soldiers of the 102nd Infantry Regiment, 26th “Yankee” Division. This tenacious pup, later named Stubby, quickly became a beloved companion, especially to Private J. Robert Conroy, who took him under his wing.​ Stubby’s service on the Western Front was nothing short of heroic. He participated in 17 battles over 18 months, beginning with the grueling conditions at Chemin des Dames in February 1918. His acute senses proved invaluable; after surviving a mustard gas attack, Stubby developed a sensitivity to the gas’s presence. On one occasion, he detected a gas attack in the early morning hours and ran through the trenches, barking and biting soldiers to wake them, effectively saving countless lives.
Stubby also excelled in locating wounded soldiers in no man’s land. He would venture out amidst the chaos, find the injured, and bark until medics arrived or lead them back to safety. Built on a mashbill of 99% corn and 1% malted barley, it offers lift, clarity, and depth without excess weight.
