Born in Kentucky, Aged Across America
The Rolling Rickhouse is the gimmick that became the point: instead of sitting still, the barrels rode 7,314 miles of American highway — temperature swings, vibration, and all — before blending. The result, per the brand, is "subtle, complex, spicy, well-traveled." The initial release was 30,000 bottles in November 2021. Browse more bourbon and the American Highway collection.
Tasting Notes
The rye-forward mash bills (up to 36% rye in one component) drive the profile: baking spice and black pepper over caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak from the 13- and 15-year components, with the younger whiskeys keeping it bright and energetic.
How to Enjoy
Neat to taste the road trip — the spice and oak deserve a slow pour. At 96 proof it also makes a superb Old Fashioned or a high-rye Manhattan.
