American Highway Reserve was created by Brad Paisley, an American country music singer and songwriter.
The initial batch includes bourbon from the 90 barrels that were placed on a 53 foot semi-trailer nicknamed the “Rolling Rickhouse” and driven around the United States to age as part of Paisley’s 2019 tour.
The barrels traveled a total of 7,314 miles, journeying from coast to coast and passing through a total of 25 states, at an average temperature of 93.5 degrees.
From there, Paisley worked closely with Bardstown Bourbon Company to create the final blend which consisted of 3 year, 13 year, and 15 year barrels to make the initial batch, which yielded a total of 30,000 bottles.
