The story

The story behind Rough Rider

Rough Rider is an American whiskey label built around bourbon and rye, the two pillars of the domestic craft distilling revival. Bourbon is corn-led and aged in new charred oak; rye leans on a grain that gives pepper and spice. The line runs from a Double Casked bourbon and a Bull Moose rye up to Happy Warrior, a higher-end bottling. We have carried the brand long enough to know the bottles, not just the label.

We stock these as everyday drinking whiskey with enough backbone to sip neat. Specifics on distillery and mash bill are not something we publish without confirmation, so ask us at the counter and we will tell you what we know and what we do not.

Buying guidance

Which Rough Rider is right for you?

Rough Rider sits where good whiskey should: affordable enough to keep on the bar, serious enough to pour for company. The Double Casked Bourbon and Bull Moose Rye both come in at $31.99 for a 750mL, which is fair money for a bottle you will actually finish. Happy Warrior Bourbon runs $64.99, the step up for a slower evening or a gift. Prices are as listed; call ahead on stock.

Rough Rider cocktails and pairings

Bourbon wants fat, salt and smoke; rye wants something with a little bite of its own.

Good to know

Rough Rider questions, answered

Is Rough Rider a bourbon or a rye?
Rough Rider makes both. The Double Casked and Happy Warrior are bourbons, corn-led and aged in new charred oak. Bull Moose is a rye whiskey, spicier and drier. Both are American whiskeys.
What does Double Casked mean?
Double casking means the whiskey spends time in a second barrel after its first aging, which layers in more oak and caramel. It is a common way to add depth without adding years.
Do you ship Rough Rider whiskey?
We ship spirits to the states where it is legal, confirmed at checkout. Rough Rider is available for free curbside pickup in Commack and local delivery across Nassau and Suffolk, same-day or next-day, free over $250. Must be 21 or older.
How should I drink Rough Rider bourbon?
Neat or with a splash of water to open it up. The Double Casked also makes a solid Old Fashioned, and Bull Moose Rye is the better pick for a Manhattan.
Where is Rough Rider whiskey made?
We do not publish a distillery location we cannot confirm. It is American whiskey, and we are glad to tell you what is on the label when you come in. Ask at the counter.
