Losing altitude and airspeed, on fire, Major Gary “Wolfman” Wolf brought her home. Battle Creek Bourbon honors that aircraft, the 110th Air National Guard Wing, and the pilots and maintainers whose grit defines what the A-10 was built to be: survivable, capable, lethal. A tribute to the aircraft that refused to die.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinglore Spirits is proud to work in partnership with the Air Zoo Aerospace \u0026amp; Science Museum in Kalamazoo, MI where 258 resides. Every bottle of Battle Creek Bourbon sold supports the preservation of the legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAirframe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNon-chill filtered, built like the Hog it honors.
