Brad Paisley Shares The Unique Story Behind His New ‘American Highway’ Bourbon

November 30, 2021  |  Forbes

In addition to being a singer/songwriter and master guitarist, Brad Paisley is a fan of great bourbon. And through the years, he’s often been approached by people asking if he’d like to put his name on a blend of his own. But for Paisley, simply having his name on the bottle wasn’t nearly as appealing as being intricately involved in the process.

In an unusual fashion, the new Bourbon was aged in a ‘rolling rickhouse’ on tour with the country music star. Many will recognise the name Brad Paisley in relation to his country music stardom, however, this month he is launching the American Highway Reserve. 

 

The whiskey has been aged in barrels stored in a 53-foot semi-trailer that went on to follow his 2019 nationwide tour, traveling 7,314 miles across 25 states, from coast to coast.

BARDSTOWN, Ky. (November 2, 2021) – Global country music superstar Brad Paisley will launch “American Highway” Bourbon in November, a whiskey aged in barrels stored in a 53-foot semi-trailer that followed his 2019 nation-wide tour for 7,314 miles across 25 states, from coast to coast.

 

“Bourbon is like songwriting, it’s a blend of things coming together to make something incredible,” said Paisley. “These are really special barrels that saw more of the United States than most people I know.” 

 

The fluctuating climate of the barrels’ journey expanded and contracted their staves, imparting oak and char that cultivate the characteristics flavors of America’s native spirit. This well-traveled batch was then blended with three-year, 13-year and 15-year-old Kentucky bourbons to create the final product. The next batch, to be released in 2022, was aged on the Rolling Rickhouse during Paisley’s 2021 tour.

 

Paisley sums up the creative process that derived his bourbon: “It’s so similar to what goes into a great guitar. The right woods, the right craftsmanship, the right alchemy that makes this intangible, magical thing, and that’s what makes this so great to me.”
