Corey, a combat veteran, found new meaning in life by channeling pain into purpose—creating a space where healing and camaraderie flourish. In the midst of the isolation brought on by COVID-19, Corey’s quest for connection after military service inspired him to launch Last Dram Standing.

Last Dram Standing is a nonprofit organization that unites veterans and civilians, with whiskey serving as more than a drink—it’s a bridge for meaningful exchange and healing. The goal is not consumption, but connection: fostering shared experiences, safe environments, and honoring those who have served.

Every limited-edition bottle released is a heartfelt salute. The debut bottle was dedicated to First Lieutenant Levi Barnard, who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq. The proceeds fund charities that uplift veterans and their families, keeping each hero’s legacy alive.

Special experiences—including Kentucky barrel selections and localized chapters—help forge close, supportive bonds. Last Dram Standing encourages honest discussions about mental health, building collective resilience and understanding.

Whether you’re a veteran, first responder, entrepreneur, or personal development enthusiast, you are invited to join Last Dram Standing. Discover the power of community, pay tribute to the fallen, and find renewed purpose alongside others who share your journey.

If you or someone you know is struggling, take that brave first step and reach out. Find support, community, and a renewed sense of purpose. Follow @TheLastDramStanding to be part of this powerful mission.
