Hot Mic Whiskey: For the Soldiers Who Keep the Army Connected

Every mission runs on communication. Hot Mic Whiskey honors the soldiers who make it happen. In fact, it was born in the heart of the 11th Corps Signal Brigade Thunderbirds. Hot Mic celebrates the Soldiers who keep the Army connected when it matters most. The brigade, a storied signal unit long associated with Fort Hood, Texas, carries a burden that few outside the Army ever see. When the network is up, nobody notices; when it is down, nothing moves. This whiskey is a toast to the ones who make sure it stays up.

Hot Mic is a tribute bottle in the truest sense. It honors the signal community, its veterans, and its families. Also, this whiskey belongs at hails and farewells, reenlistments, and reunions. It fits anywhere Thunderbirds gather to swap stories. They talk about long field exercises, impossible retrans sites, and the quiet pride of keeping the Corps talking.

Crafted by Timber Creek Distillery

Like the unit it honors, Hot Mic does not cut corners. As a result, Timber Creek Distillery in Crestview, Florida, distills and bottles it. This grain-to-glass craft distillery sits on a working family farm in the Florida Panhandle. Timber Creek produces its spirits entirely on site, fermenting, distilling, aging, and bottling under one roof. It has become a go-to maker of small-batch tribute spirits for military units and associations. Hot Mic carries that standard into the glass: an honest, well-made American whiskey with a name every radio operator will appreciate. So key the net one more time, and pour a round for the Thunderbirds. Raise a glass to the soldiers who keep the Army connected. This mic is always hot.

In short, Hot Mic Whiskey is best enjoyed in person. Come find it at one of our tours and tastings sessions in Crestview.
