History

I was inspired by Phil Ward's Tequila Gumption, and I decided to cross it with the American Trilogy by replacing the reposado tequila and mezcal duo with bonded Bourbon and apple brandy. Utilizing a Mr. Potato Head swap seemed like a perfect tribute to Phil, and I dubbed this the American Gumption.
