It is said the honoring each other’s history and traditions unites different countries and cultures and makes us stronger. It is our mutual esteem and reverence of heroic deeds in battle that unites warriors and makes us brothers-in-arms. Our Vodka is produced in the revered classic Russian tradition. It has an authentic rich flavor and very smooth taste. This is Battle Brotherhood Vodka, made with our passion for real men and women. The idea of Battle Brotherhood started in the mountains of Afghanistan decades ago. A soldier from the former Soviet Union turned entrepreneur, named Iskander wanted to start a vodka company which was ran by veterans worldwide. He has spent the last 8 years refining the formula and is ready to license it across the globe. Iskander is working with Afghanistan veterans from around the world to launch this amazingly smooth vodka in their respective countries. His goal is two fold; provide veterans with employment and to raise awareness of veteran causes by having a portion of the profits set aside for veteran charities. Battle Brotherhood is comprised of 6 Afghanistan and Iraq veterans. CEO Dave Lyon and COO Andrew Bottrell both suffered injuries in Afghanistan which caused them to retire from the military. Since then they have both ran and worked with numerous start ups and charities which improve the equipment and lives of service-members and veterans. Dan Shankle and Tim Lynch are currently continuing education in the business department and are the VP of sales and marketing respectively. Grant Depew and Zach Clayton are using the leadership and organizational skills learned while in the Marine Corps to run the distillery, logistical and warehouse operations.
