Minneapolis distillery Brother Justus Whiskey Company, known for its American single malts, is raising a glass … and funds … for heroes past and present.
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration with the Commander’s Own Chapter of the 34th Infantry Division Association, Brother Justus is releasing two exclusive American whiskey expressions that pay tribute to the proud legacy of Minnesota’s own “Red Bull” Division. A portion of proceeds will go directly to supporting scholarships and veteran initiatives.

Commander’s Cut

Crafted from 100% malted barley and distilled with purpose, each bottle tells a story of service, sacrifice, and spirit.
“Honor is part of our DNA,” says Phil Steger, founder and CEO of Brother Justus. “To craft whiskey in tribute to the soldiers of the 34th Infantry Division is a privilege we don’t take lightly.”
Retired Colonel Chad Sackett, President of the Commander’s Own Chapter, adds:
“Brother Justus understands the power of legacy. These whiskeys celebrate not just our history, but our continued commitment to the families who wear the Red Bull with pride.”
Each limited-edition release will be available online (shipping to most states) and at the Brother Justus cocktail room in Northeast Minneapolis.
