Firefighter's Reserve 343 8 Year Single Barrel Bourbon 2026 750 ml

Firefighter’s Reserve 343 8 Year Single Barrel Bourbon is a commemorative American bourbon created to honor the courage and sacrifice of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

Released in recognition of the 25th Remembrance, this special expression combines a meaningful tribute with the depth and character of an 8-year-old single-barrel bourbon. Each bottle carries the prominent 343 designation and commemorative presentation, making the release particularly meaningful for collectors, bourbon enthusiasts and supporters of the fire-service community.

A full eight years of barrel maturation develops a rich bourbon profile centered on caramel, vanilla and mature oak. The nose offers caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, brown sugar and warming baking spices, leading into a full-bodied palate with dark caramel, cinnamon, toasted grain and seasoned oak.

The finish is long and warming, allowing oak, brown sugar, vanilla and peppery spice to linger after each sip. At 48% ABV (96 proof), the whiskey carries enough strength to showcase its mature barrel character while remaining suited to slow sipping.

Beyond the whiskey itself, Firefighter’s Reserve states that proceeds from its bottles help support firefighters and their families, continuing the brand's connection to the fire-service community.
