A brand that’s starting to get a bit more buzz lately may be one which some of you have not heard much about, Lucky Seven Spirits. With the uptick in interest, we wanted to take some time to set the scene for what Lucky Seven is, what it is not, and whether or not the […]
It should come as no secret that we here at Bourboneur, and by “we,” I mean “I,” are…or rather, am, really into bourbon. Bourbon kind of snuck up on me from what feels like out of nowhere! One day I had a couple bottles of fairly unnoteworthy bourbon hanging around, interspersed with a bunch of […]
With the sixth bottle in the series of annual releases under the belt, the one and only Freddie Noe a name that likely needs no introduction, has continued to find his way in putting together unique custom blends that change with every expression. At this point the blends have included most categories of domestic whiskeys […]

Recently I wrote about the most expensive bourbons of 2022 in our Bourboneur Unicorn Edition. These were the who’s who list of bourbons encompassing a number of bottles that many will go their entire life and never taste, let alone even see! Back in the day, folks would walk down an aisle and Pappy was […]
It wasn’t but a few months back that I put together a small gathering of bourbon loving friends for a tasting party in my garage bar. If you’ve never hosted such an event, I cannot recommend it enough – I also recommend that you take the time to put together some great Foods That Pair […]

With fall well on it’s way, cooler evenings provide a great opportunity to enjoy a bourbon with a little extra heat on it to help warm things up a bit! As the last number of years have seen a lot of higher proof expressions come to market we have lined up the Bourboneur top 10 […]
