THE STORY OF BOURBON
Truth is, there are few things left in American culture that are connected to place, people, and tradition. Bourbon is one of them.
THE BASICS OF BOURBON
As there are different classifications of whiskey, there are also different variations of bourbon. Most of these distinctions can be understood by differing mash bills.
MAKING BOURBON
Making bourbon is one thing. Making it taste good is another. Bourbon is widely appreciated for its complex characteristics and its robust flavor profile.
bourbon country
Kentucky is synonymous with bourbon. And for many reasons, it should be. It is most likely where bourbon was birthed, and it certainly is where bourbon made its mark. But there are more than just historical reasons bourbon is intimately tied to Kentucky.
