New D-Day Bourbon Honors America’s Missing Heroes with History in Every Bottle

0
day

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This D-Day, Americans have the rare opportunity to own a piece of living history—and support the mission to bring home those who never made it back.

In a world-first, D-Day Bourbon has been released: a limited-edition spirit aged in-flight inside a WWII combat aircraft. The project, a collaboration between Tobacco Barn Distillery and the nonprofit Tours of Duty, honors the 81st anniversary of D-Day while supporting the recovery of over 81,000 U.S. servicemembers still missing in action.

The bourbon was aged aboard the C-47 “Placid Lassie”, a combat veteran of the Normandy invasion. Barrels were secured in her fuselage as she flew across the Atlantic to France in 2024 for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. During that journey—shaped by altitude, vibration, motion, and time—the bourbon matured unlike any other bottle in existence.

“For the families who never got closure,” says Founder Amanda Rutledge, “and the veterans who carry the weight of the fallen, this bottle means more than words can say. It’s proof that we’re still searching—and still remembering.”

Crafted by Veterans, For a Sacred Cause

Every bottle of D-Day Bourbon supports the veteran-led field missions of Tours of Duty, whose teams travel to former battlefields in Southeast Asia, Europe, The Pacific and beyond to locate and recover missing American servicemembers. Many of these missions rely on private funding and donations, as government resources fall short.

Each bottle costs $370 plus a $1,000 tax-deductible contribution, with proceeds going directly to:

  • Active search and recovery expeditions
  • Veteran forensic training
  • Mission-critical supplies and technology
  • Case research and family outreach

“This bourbon is a symbol of our promise: that no one who served this country will be forgotten,” says Amanda Rutledge.

Extremely Limited, Never to Be Repeated

Each bottle of D-Day Bourbon is hand-numbered and bottled only once. With no future flights planned, this is the first and last time bourbon will be aged in a D-Day aircraft. Once sold out, these bottles become permanent relics—both of WWII history and a living mission to honor it.

Only available while supplies last

Retail Price: $1,370 | $1,000 tax-deductible

About Tours of Duty

Tours of Duty is a nonprofit dedicated to the recovery and repatriation of missing American servicemembers. Led by combat veterans and experts in forensic anthropology, the organization empowers veterans to return to the field in search of those left behind—while helping them reconnect to purpose, mission, and one another.

Bourbon Aged in a WWII D-Day Warbird Honors the Fallen and Helps Bring Them Home

0

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On the 81st anniversary of D-Day, Americans are being offered a chance to own something no one has ever had before—and will never have again: a bottle of bourbon that was aged in flight inside the fuselage of a D-Day combat aircraft, created to support the mission of bringing America’s missing servicemembers home.

Distilled by Tobacco Barn Distillery and created in partnership with the nonprofit Tours of Duty, this limited-release bourbon was flown across the Atlantic in charred oak barrels aboard “Placid Lassie,” a fully restored WWII C-47 aircraft that dropped paratroopers into Normandy on June 6, 1944. As the Lassie journeyed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day last year, the barrels aged in motion—shaped by altitude, air pressure, temperature shifts, and turbulence.

The result is more than bourbon.It’s a bottle infused with history.And every purchase helps fund the recovery of the 81,000 U.S. servicemembers still missing in action.

The First Bourbon of Its Kind—For a Cause Unlike Any Other

“This is the only bourbon in history to be aged in-flight inside a combat-flown D-Day aircraft,” said Amanda Rutledge, founder of Tours of Duty. “And it’s doing something no government agency has been able to do alone—bring our missing heroes home.”

Each bottle is hand-numbered, extremely limited, and never to be made again. The purchase price is $370 plus a $1,000 tax-deductible donation to fund future search and recovery missions. These efforts send veterans back into the field—not with rifles, but with forensic gear, maps, and a solemn vow: We will not forget.

About Tours of Duty

Led by veterans, Tours of Duty deploys field teams to former battlefields in Southeast Asia, Europe, the Pacific and beyond to locate, recover, and help repatriate Americans who never came home. Veterans who once served in war now serve in peace—as investigators, medics, case researchers, and cultural liaisons—reclaiming the stories of the lost and restoring honor to families who have waited decades.

Proceeds from the D-Day Bourbon support:

Active recovery missions overseas

Forensic training for veterans

Equipment and archival research

Travel and mission support for families of the missing

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 12 May 2025 — Belong Creative, a premier Employer Branding agency led by founder Simon, is revolutionizing how organizations attract and retain top talent through its proven Magnetic Brand Builder™ (MBB) Process. With a track record of success spanning over 15 years, Belong Creative has established itself as the go-to partner for companies seeking to enhance their Employer Brand reputation and create authentic connections with current and prospective employees.

In today’s competitive talent market, where 82% of job seekers consider an employer’s brand reputation before applying, organizations are increasingly recognising the strategic importance of Employer Branding. Belong Creative’s data-driven approach has been shown to reduce hiring costs by up to 50%, decrease time-to-hire by up to 14%  and lower turnover rates by up to 6.6%  all within the first year of activation.

“Every employer has an Employer Brand. The question is, are you influencing it?” says Simon, founder of Belong Creative. “Your Employer Brand lives in the hearts and minds of your employees, future candidates, and people who come in contact with your brand.

The agency’s comprehensive MBB process is designed specifically for Employer Brand Managers and Talent Acquisition Professionals who may be struggling with unclear value propositions or outdated employer brand reputations. The four-phase approach works from the ground up to build a data-led Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and then craft and activate a magnetic Employer Brand. Each phase also functions independently, allowing organizations to engage at any point in their employer branding journey.

Belong Creative’s impressive client roster includes market leaders such as Toll, Allianz, Aveo, Bayer, AFCA, Roche, TPG Telecom, Benetas, TAL, Sydney Airport, and the NSW Department of Customer Service, among others.
