Awards
Yes, we’re keenly aware that what follows constitutes a rather… generous accounting of our accolades. But then again, much like our esteemed forebears who defied expectations and charted their own course, Sons of Liberty has found that marching to the beat of a different drum (or perhaps, distilling to the tune of a unique mash bill) tends to yield rather spectacular results – and the awards, well, they’ve simply piled up in a manner that can only be described as delightfully excessive.
