Distillery Notes:
Our journey began with Brad Paisley’s vision for a bourbon he can take on tour and age across America. So Brad teamed up with Bardstown Bourbon Company to create his ultimate bourbon blend and loaded 90 barrels of it on a semi-truck — our very own Rolling Rickhouse. These barrels will be cruising mile after mile through tiny towns and big cities, across the Great Plains and over mountain ranges, picking up more and more flavor along the way. This is some well-traveled whiskey. This is bourbon with a story. This is American Highway.
This is the first-ever bourbon to be aged on the road. And with only 90 precious barrels of Batch One on board, it’s not only going places, it’s gonna go fast.
Our first batch of American Highway balances sweet and spice with a blend of four premium Kentucky bourbons. And while we’ll be introducing a new blend every year, its real character will be revealed on the road. The rocking of the Rolling Rickhouse draws out the barrel's natural sugars, while the climate swings push and pull the bourbon in and out of the wood, imparting more and more deep oak flavor. It’s a set of variables that add up to something amazing, just like any journey — or any country song.
Tasting Notes:

Awards/Reviews:
"Lightly toasted oak combines with apricot and sweet caramel. Rye spice comes forward slightly. A rush of caramel chews, toffee, Milky Way bar, and vanilla cream come forward on the palate, accented by a wave of rye spice. A smattering of leather, aged oak, and pipe tobacco echo in the background, contributing a welcome depth to a medium bodied and nicely integrated array of flavors. The bourbon really shines here, and finds a level of intensity that will please a wide range of bourbon drinkers." - Breaking Bourbon
