Rock The Barrel 2 follows his initial offering last year, and clearly enjoyed the experience enough to launch a second limited-edition drink.

 

He once again partnered with the award-winning Iron Smoke Distillery to produce a spirit that matches the spirit of his music: “all killer, no filler. Pure and unfiltered, this cask strength, 93-proof bourbon whiskey bridges strength and smoothness with a whisper of apple wood smoke sweetness.”

 

Petrucci said: “Drawing from our experience while creating the original RTB 120-proof limited run, Iron Smoke master distiller Drew Wescott has once again made one of the most amazing bourbons I have ever tasted.”

 

The 93-proof level makes it “the perfect whiskey for any occasion,” he added. It’s on sale now, and each order comes complete with a set of bamboo coasters while the bottle is signed by Petrucci himself. Also included is an invitation to a virtual tasting session with the guitarist and Iron Smoke CEO Tommy Brunett.

 

DREAM THEATER played in Sofia, Bulgaria on 30 May.
