SPYRT Worldwide just dropped a bombshell in the world of patriotic spirits: a 3-liter limited-edition vodka bottled straight from refurbished M119A2 propelling charge tubes sourced from Ukraine. These aren’t your grandma’s mason jars—these are actual 155mm howitzer powder charge cases, meticulously cleaned, inspected, and repurposed into massive, battle-tested decanters that hold enough firewater to fuel a platoon. At 40% ABV, distilled from premium grains with a nod to Ukrainian heritage, it’s being marketed as Ukrainian Spirit, and 10% of every sale funnels directly into demining efforts to clear explosive remnants from war-torn fields. Limited run, so if you’re quick on the draw, you might snag one before they’re shelled out.
For the 2A community, this isn’t just booze—it’s a masterclass in munitions repurposing that screams ingenuity and resilience. The M119A2, a lightweight 105mm howitzer that’s been a U.S. Army staple since the ’80s (and heavily deployed in Ukraine via aid packages), represents the raw power of artillery support for freedom fighters worldwide. By transforming spent charge tubes—those brass behemoths that propel shells with thousands of PSI—into barware, SPYRT bridges the gap between battlefield surplus and everyday liberty. It’s a subtle flex on ATF regs too: these aren’t functional firearms or ammo components anymore, but refurbished relics that celebrate the Second Amendment ethos of adapting tools of defense for civilian life. Think of it as the spiritual successor to those AR-15 lower receiver coffee mugs or surplus 37mm casings turned into flasks—hardware hackers turning war waste into wins.
The implications? This could spark a renaissance in mil-surp spirits, boosting demand for demilled ordnance and indirectly supporting allies while giving 2A enthusiasts a conversation starter that packs more punch than a mag dump. In a world where Ukraine’s fight echoes our own stand for self-defense, raising a glass from a howitzer tube feels like toasting the unyielding spirit of resistance. Grab yours, pour a round for the cause, and remember: freedom’s best served artillery-strong.
