Extremely active organization with regular volunteers that set up meaningful events that bring together veterans and families to build comradery around a shared love of whiskey. Has built partnerships with other veteran centric non-profits to raise significant funding and awareness for many causes including suicide prevention, mental health awareness, and VA benefit entitlements focused on increasing the quality of life for vets, families, and active duty military.

Love what Whiskey Valor does as well as what it stands for! I’ve know the founder for a few years now, and it’s been an honor to watch this foundation grow. I respect WVF’s approach of supporting responsible alcohol consumption and think it’s the best way forward for past, present, and future service members. Can’t wait to see where WVF takes the veteran community!

I worked with the founders when they were beneficiaries of a foundation I worked at, and as soon as I heard how they planned to run and benefit veterans with Whiskey Valor, I was in! Too often, veterans needs — especially around mental health and connecting to other vets and their families — go unmet. Whiskey Valor fills a need, supports mental health and healthy approaches to alcohol (a consistent problem for the military), and identifies other veteran-supporting organizations to partner with and grow. The team is doing this all pro bono (for now) and making a big impact in a short amount of time. I can't wait to see how this grows.

This is a unique non-profit that is unlike any other. The partnerships and collaborations that are coming out of it are extremely unique. I’ve enjoyed hearing the story of Whiskey Valor, and seeing the mindset that Luis has.

I have seen first hand the community that Whiskey Valor is building. Veterans are excited to come together, talk about life, and drink a little whiskey in the process. These Veterans, from all branches, would have never met each other otherwise. Whiskey Valor is also helping other nonprofits by donating the proceeds from single barrel picks to them. This is a wonderful organization and I can’t to see it continue to grow.

Whiskey Valor is one of the most impactful nonprofits l've come across. What sets them apart is how they use a shared love of bourbon to bring people together in support of veterans-not just through fundraising, but by fostering real community and conversation. The environment is always welcoming and inclusive; for instance, even though I don’t personally drink, they always provided fun and engaging activities I can still participate in.

If you’re looking for a mission-driven organisation, this is it.

It has been an absolute honor to witness the growth of Whiskey Valor Foundation and the incredible community it's building. This organization continues to bring together passionate whiskey lovers in support of a truly meaningful cause. I had an unforgettable time at the NCO Sword Barrel Pick — great whiskey, even better company, and conversations that reminded me why this community is so special. Every event feels like more than just a gathering — it’s a celebration of camaraderie, service, and purpose. Cheers to many more!

Luis and Whiskey Valor are constantly finding opportunities to bring veterans together to share stories and build community! Whiskey Valor represents a unique opportunity for veterans to come together based on not just shared services and experiences but a common passion for whiskey.

I've gotten to attend a few events for WVF and I regularly follow them on social media. The events were really engaging. I was sort of expecting to go and just talk to vets about whiskey the whole time but was impressed how quickly we were all joking and laughing about things that had nothing to do with bourbon. The founder often uses the term "community" - I think this was a great introduction to a new one. Separately, I've been very happy with their social media presence. They're always posting about how to get involved, where events will be, and opportunities available for veterans, volunteers, and families. They're still new, but this seems like a great group to be a part of.

I heard about Whiskey Valor and Louis in Veterans Day in a Fox News article. I donated a few bottles of locally made whiskey to him to use at an event. And now my wife is running the marine Corps marathon for Whiskey valor as a fundraiser. All the events he’s constantly putting on and meeting with veterans is a great way to spread the message and help other veterans!

I’ve had the chance to attend a few events put on by Whiskey Valor, and every single one has been amazing. Luis, the founder, does a fantastic job creating a welcoming space for veterans to connect over great whiskey. Everyone who comes has a powerful story, and the sense of support and camaraderie is clear from the moment you walk in. I highly recommend checking them out and hope more people get involved!

I have been to several of the events hosted by Whiskey Valor and all of them have been nothing short of incredible! Luis, the founder, and his wonderful wife (who is also a Marien Corps vet) does an amazing job bringing veterans together over a great glass of whiskey! All the folks who show up have incredible stories and the support is clearly shown from everyone that is there. I couldn’t recommend this organization more and encourage more people to attend!
