Davis Sr. and Benjamin O. Davis Jr., is one of courage, perseverance, and historic achievement. Together, this father and son duo contributed to the creation and success of the Tuskegee Airmen, which paved the way for the integration of the U.S. military. These Invisible Generals left a lasting legacy, expanded opportunities for future generations, and helped shape the military we know today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend brings together 7-year-old whiskeys from Tennessee and Indiana with 4-year-old whiskey from Kentucky. After blending, the whiskey was finished in Madeira casks, adding layers of dried-fruit sweetness and gentle wine character to its rich caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak notes. It is bottled at 112 proof—a tribute to one father, one son, and two generals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBenjamin Oliver Davis Jr. endured four years of isolation and relentless discrimination at West Point, where fellow cadets subjected him to the silent treatment in an attempt to force him out.
