Seven Veterans, One Tribute Bottle
Leadslingers was founded by seven combat veterans drawn from the US Army Rangers, USAF Tactical Air Control Party, Special Forces and Paratrooper communities, and its whiskey is made at Scissortail Distillery in Moore, Oklahoma — double distilled, handcrafted, and aged in barrels sourced from a veteran-owned cooperage in Indiana. The Thin Blue Line bottling turns that same bourbon to a specific purpose: brand copy describes it as a tribute to the five Dallas police officers killed in 2016, created to raise money for the families of fallen officers.

How to Enjoy
A neat or on-the-rocks small-batch pour is the house style; at 80 proof it also mixes without a fight — a bourbon-and-ginger highball or a simple Old Fashioned keeps the vanilla and toffee in front.
