30mm American Bourbon — A Blend of Straight Whiskeys

30mm American Bourbon: A Tribute to the Warthog

30mm American Bourbon is a veteran-owned tribute to the A-10C Thunderbolt II — the beloved “Warthog” — and to everyone who flew her, fixed her, or fought under her protective wing. The brand takes its name from the aircraft’s legendary GAU-8 cannon; as the back label puts it, the A-10 delivers 1,174 rounds of 30mm to protect our friendlies. It’s bold, fierce, and rugged — and the founders hope you find their bourbon the same. The black label carries blueprint-style artwork of the A-10 itself, making every 750 mL bottle a piece of aviation heritage as much as a whiskey.

Veteran Owned, Panhandle Made

30mm was founded by two childhood best friends: Josh, who flies the A-10C Thunderbolt II for the U.S. Air Force, and Jesse, who served in elite maritime service. Their mission is simple — make a drink they are proud of, honoring their heritage and the mighty A-10. To do it, they sought out the best locally sourced grains and partnered with a distillery that shares their values: Timber Creek Distillery in Crestview, Florida, in the heart of Panhandle military country. Using the PureBlend process, each grain is distilled to extract its most complete flavor before blending, and Crestview’s cool nights and warm summer days maximize the barrel’s breathing for the richest possible taste. Every bottle carries a handwritten batch number.

The result is a blend of straight whiskeys with genuine character: crafted slowly, blended deliberately, and bottled by hand. From the mash to the perfect pour, the founders call it a labor of love — and a thank-you to a community that has supported the brand from its inaugural batch. Whether you drove the Hog, cared for her, or simply admired her from the ground, 30mm American Bourbon was made with you in mind. Find the brand at 30mmbourbon.com and @30MMBOURBON.
