Red Empire Whiskey

Red Empire Whiskey: Through Deeds, Not Words

Red Empire Whiskey honors the Special Forces community of the Florida Panhandle. Created for a Special Forces Association chapter that serves as the voice for the Special Forces community in the region, it carries a mission statement on its back label: to perpetuate Special Forces traditions, to advance the public image of Special Forces through deeds not words, and to promote the general welfare of the Special Forces community and their families. The name itself carries weight — “Red Empire” is the proud moniker of the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), headquartered on the Emerald Coast just outside Crestview, Florida, and celebrated each year during Red Empire Week, when soldiers, veterans, and families gather for competition, remembrance, and community.

This is a whiskey meant for the quiet professional’s table: dignified, understated, and made for toasts that mean something — to teammates past and present, to Gold Star families, and to the legacy that the Green Berets of the Panhandle carry forward every day.

Crafted in the Heart of Red Empire Country

Fittingly, Red Empire Whiskey is made in the community it honors. It is distilled and bottled by Timber Creek Distillery in Crestview, Florida — the same town the 7th Group calls home — at a grain-to-glass farm distillery where every spirit is fermented, distilled, aged, and bottled on site. Timber Creek has deep roots in the Panhandle’s military community and has crafted tribute spirits for units and associations across the region; this bottle is among the most personal of them, made a few miles from the compound whose name it bears. Pour it slowly, raise it deliberately, and honor the standard the label sets: through deeds, not words. De Oppresso Liber.
