Derek Trucks Unveils Ass Pocket Whiskey Release No. 2: Limited-Edition Holiday Bourbon

Multiple Grammy-winning guitarist Derek Trucks is thrilled to announce the launch of Ass Pocket Whiskey (APW) Release No. 2, a special holiday edition of his bold Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Bottled at a potent 122.5 proof, this festive bourbon is designed to warm up your holiday celebrations and is perfectly timed to be enjoyed on December 25. Pre-orders for APW's limited-edition "Holiday Proof" are now available at AssPocketWhiskey.com, with shipments arriving in mid-December—just in time for stocking stuffers and holiday cheer.

Following the phenomenal sell-out of Release No. 1 at Bourbon & Beyond, Derek and his brother David meticulously sampled this new batch at varying proofs, ultimately selecting 122.5 proof for both its holiday significance and exceptional quality. The result? A rich, full-bodied bourbon designed to uphold the high standards set by its predecessor while adding a festive twist to the APW legacy.

From Sell-Out Sensation to Holiday Must-Have
The overwhelming success of APW's debut at Bourbon & Beyond saw Release No. 1 quickly sell out. However, a limited number of bottles were reserved for Kentucky’s Revival Vintage Spirits Locker Program, giving bourbon enthusiasts a rare chance to experience the celebrated first release at select top-tier bourbon bars.

APW: Bourbon with a Bold Vision
Derek Trucks’ Ass Pocket Whiskey is more than just premium bourbon—it’s a statement against the growing trend of whiskey being treated as a collectible rather than a drink to savor. By offering small-batch bourbon in a convenient 200ml "ass pocket" flask size, APW encourages fans to enjoy their whiskey, not just display it. In Derek’s words, APW is about letting people “have their whiskey and drink it too.”
