Grammy-winning musician Derek Trucks has announced the release of Ass Pocket Whiskey (APW) Release No. 2, a limited holiday edition of his Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Bottled at 122.5 proof, this special edition is intended for holiday celebrations, with shipments scheduled to arrive by mid-December. Orders are available now at AssPocketWhiskey.com.
The 122.5 proof for this release was carefully selected by Derek Trucks and his brother David after extensive tastings to ensure it met the high standards set by the inaugural release. The proof also aligns with the holiday theme, reinforcing its designation as “Holiday Proof.”
The first release of APW sold out quickly at the Bourbon & Beyond festival. A small number of bottles from the initial batch were reserved for Kentucky’s Revival Vintage Spirits Locker Program, providing bourbon enthusiasts a chance to experience the debut edition at select bourbon bars.
Ass Pocket Whiskey was created from Derek Trucks’ passion for bourbon and his desire to challenge the trend of whiskey being treated as a collectible rather than a drink to be enjoyed. With its smaller 200ml flask size, APW encourages consumers to savor high-quality whiskey without the pressure of preserving a full-sized bottle.
