Built to Bring Clarity to the Bourbon Market
Meet Nick Owens, Founder of Bourboneur
A virtual bourbon tasting sparked an interest that eventually became a business. As Nick Owens explored bourbon more deeply, one question kept surfacing: how do you know what a bottle is actually worth?
Asking prices varied widely, and reliable answers weren’t always easy to find. Nick built Bourboneur® to help close that gap, giving enthusiasts a clearer view of the market through completed sales and carefully reviewed pricing data.
A Certified Bourbon Professional and collector himself, Nick brings that same curiosity to Bourboneur’s® educational content. The aim is simple: help people understand their bottles and enjoy bourbon with greater confidence.

Better Information. Your Decision.
The Bourbon Blue Book® draws on completed secondary-market sales and pricing trends to give you a consistent reference point for bottle values.
Markets move, individual transactions vary, and no estimate guarantees a selling price. Our job is to review the data, put it in context, and help you understand what it means.
The goal isn’t to tell you what to pay. It’s to give you the information you need to decide for yourself.
