Coming Soon: A Brotherly Release
A dual release, APW No. 3 will consist of a 15YO and 9YO bourbon. Like Derek and his brother David, these two bourbons shared the same parents (distillery) and DNA (mashbill) - distilled from a grain bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley.
They tasted many great bourbons for this release, but these two stood out as special. Derek added, “Like brothers, they came from the same place but their different life experiences resulted in their unique character. That’s what makes these bottles so fun to drink, especially side by side.”
Release No: 3 goes on sale on May 5th at 10AM ET. The first 500 customers to purchase will receive the package in a collectible box along with an invite for a virtual tasting with brothers Derek and David Trucks.
APW Release No. 3A:
Aged 15 years in deep-charred #4 oak barrels, this bourbon was shaped by Kentucky’s intense seasonal shifts. After multiple rounds of tasting, the Trucks brothers selected 107 proof (53.5% ABV) as the perfect expression of this rich, balanced bourbon.
APW Release No. 3B:
This bourbon took the road less traveled. After four years in its initial home, this bourbon moved to the ground floor of the longest rickhouse of its kind. The cooler, more humid conditions slowed the aging process and naturally reduced the proof, resulting in one of the lowest barrel-strength whiskeys in recent memory - 97.5 proof (48.75% ABV) - with a smooth, full-bodied finish.
