The Concept
High Rail Bourbon was conceived as a tribute to the rail lines that stitched America together — a bourbon dressed in the visual language of switch towers, timetables, and copper boilers. The branding leaned on vintage railway type, punched-ticket details, and an aged-cream-and-charcoal palette.
The bottle designs shown on this page are concept renders from that brand development work. High Rail was one of a number of spirits ventures pursued by Doug Mulford, alongside brands like Longwing Vodka, Baymarc Rum, and Beach Drinks.
