Four Branches creates small batch bourbon to support the scholarship fund and families through the Folds of Honor partnership.
BARDSTOWN, Ky., Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Small Batch Bourbon Supports Scholarship Fund and Families through Limited-Edition Release.
With a mission of giving back and supporting the veteran and first responder communities, Four Branches Bourbon proudly announces a partnership with Folds of Honor. To commemorate the partnership, Four Branches created a special limited-edition bourbon called Honor Reserve. The money raised will directly support the scholarship fund at Folds of Honor, with more than 30% of each bottle sale being donated.
Four Branches is the only spirit company founded by four veterans, one each from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. The intention is to honor those who have served and sacrificed. The founders have over 100 years of combined service and are committed to raising awareness and paying tribute to veterans and first responder communities.
Jeff Hopmayer, a spirit industry veteran and investor and supporter of Four Branches, generously donated the barrels that were used to age the Honor Reserve. Additionally, Hopmayer purchased the first 10 bottles at $5,000 a piece, which will cover the cost of 10 Folds of Honor scholarships for children or spouses of the fallen or disabled military members to support their education.
"Four Branches and Folds of Honor stand for everything I believe in — service, integrity, and taking care of those who've sacrificed for all of us," Hopmayer said. "Supporting them isn't just the right thing to do; it's something I'm proud to be part of."
The Folds of Honor mission is also to honor the sacrifices of America's fallen or disabled military and first responders. These scholarships help recipients throughout their academic journey from kindergarten through higher education. By assisting with educational expenses, Folds of Honor enables families to pursue and achieve their educational goals, ensuring that the legacy of service and sacrifice is honored.
"This partnership has the potential to make a real difference," said Larry Robinson, chief impact officer at Folds of Honor. "We're hopeful that every bottle purchased brings us one step closer to serving all the families who deserve our help. This year alone, Folds of Honor was forced to turn away 7,700 qualified applicants simply due to a lack of funding. These are the families of our nation's heroes who are deserving of educational support and opportunity."
The Honor Reserve is a seven-year aged, Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 96 proof. Only 127 cases were created. Due to the limited supply, the Honor Reserve will only be available for purchase to those who subscribe to the Folds of Honor newsletter beginning on Dec. 1 and those who subscribe to the Four Branches newsletter beginning on Dec. 9. To sign up for these newsletters, visit the respective websites.
