In 1942, America’s airborne forces were still proving what could be done from the sky.
These early paratroopers volunteered to test new equipment, tactics, and training—jumping into the unknown and helping build the foundation for the airborne forces that would soon carry the fight across Europe.
They were the pioneers.
The risk takers.
The men who proved American paratroopers could take the fight anywhere.
Their courage helped forge the legacy of the 82nd Airborne Division — the All American Division.
Honor the pioneers. Remember the sacrifice. Airborne All the Way.
Tasting Notes
Medium bodied and well balanced. The first sip delivers a wave of sweet caramel and vanilla cream, followed by charred oak and cocoa. Mid palate introduces mixed nuts and a touch of clove that compliments the overall complexity.
