This week, Big Chief takes a heartfelt ride on The Whiskey Trip with two remarkable guests — Seth Fuston, U.S. Air Force Veteran and Co-Founder & President of Staves of Honor, and Eric Lytle, Board Member.
Together, they share the story of Staves of Honor, a nonprofit built to support veterans, first responders, and law enforcement officers through fellowship, charity, and the shared love of whiskey. What began as a small brotherhood of service members has grown into a nationwide movement — pouring hope and purpose back into the lives of those who've sacrificed so much.
As a veteran himself, Big Chief understands the challenges that come after service — the search for belonging, the weight of the memories, and the need for community. Over two incredible barrel picks from The Blendery, the three men raise a glass to those who serve, protect, and continue to lead with heart:
• "Final Ryde" – an undisclosed blend of 75/21/4 bourbon, 60/36/4 bourbon, and 95/5 rye whiskey, finished in a 15-year-old "BuffTurkey" barrel.
• "Razz Hunny Pie" – a beautiful mix of 60/36/4 Indiana bourbon blended with a 51/45/4 bourbon from Green River, finished in an 18-year-old Barton 1792 barrel.
With each pour, they talk about the mission, the meaning, and the magic that happens when whiskey brings people together for something bigger than themselves.
So pour one with us, take a deep breath, and join Big Chief, Seth, and Eric as they toast to service, healing, and brotherhood — because at Staves of Honor, every pour has a purpose, and every sip honors sacrifice.
