This limited-edition, keepsake bottle of Special Operations Salute honors the unique relationship between President John F. Kennedy and the “Green Berets” whose motto, De Oppresso Liber – to free the oppressed – honorably reflects the ethos of the Special Forces Regiment, past, present, and future.
This 5-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 61% ABV / 122 proof – Barrel Strength - in honor of the year (1961) President Kennedy visited Fort Bragg and subsequently approved the green beret for wear by Special Forces soldiers.

Yarborough, the Commander/Commandant of the US Army Special Warfare Center (now JFKSWCS) at Fort Bragg in 1961, is our gift to you.
