Barmen Richard Boccato and Michael McIlroy, created the American Trilogy in 2007 while bartending together at New York’s Little Branch.  This Old Fashioned-style cocktail follows the same bitters, sugar, whiskey and orange peel profile as the classic, but uses orange bitters, a brown sugar cube and one part Applejack and one part rye whiskey to change it up.  As the name implies, each ingredient of this three-part cocktail represents one pillar of the Trilogy.  Laird’s Bonded Applejack Brandy is the first and oldest distilled spirit in America with American rye whiskey following soon after in the late 1700s.  The third pillar of this cocktail is somewhat of a mystery according to creator Richard Boccato, but is often thought to be the orange bitters because of its American Origins.

The Whiskey Rebellion (also known as the Whiskey Insurrection) was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791 during the presidency of George Washington.  The so-called "whiskey tax" was the first tax imposed on a domestic product by the newly formed federal government.  It became law in 1791, and was intended to generate revenue for the war debt incurred during the Revolutionary War.  The tax applied to all distilled spirits, but American whiskey was by far the country's most popular distilled beverage in the 18th century, so the excise became widely known as a "whiskey tax".  Farmers of the western frontier were accustomed to distilling their surplus rye, barley, wheat, corn, or fermented grain mixtures into whiskey.  These farmers resisted the tax.  In these regions, whiskey often served as a medium of exchange.  Many of the resisters were war veterans who believed that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution, in particular against taxation without local representation, while the federal government maintained that the taxes were the legal expression of Congressional taxation powers.

The name is derived from the French Bourbon dynasty, although it is unclear precisely what inspired the whiskey's name (contenders include Bourbon County in Kentucky and Bourbon Street in New Orleans).
