To celebrate National Bourbon Heritage Month, I am doing a deep dive into the sometimes over-glorified history and fascination of America's beloved whiskey, Bourbon.
Please go check out the Cocktail Bandits and the Black Bourbon Society to learn more about past and present Black influence in this industry!

If you are interested in becoming a Bourbon Steward go check out Stave and Theif for course information.
