Drink Bourbon…for your Health

I’m sure you don’t need yet another reason why you should be drinking bourbon because it seems intuitive that you should be because it’s amazing, but just in case, we wanted this week to explore the health benefits that the magic brown water we all love possesses.  Whiskey has a long history of being used […]

The “Store Pick” Fallacy

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 […]

Taters are People Too

If you’ve been into bourbon for any amount of time, the term “tater” is probably one that you’re familiar with or have at least heard.  If not, you should hone up on your skills and test How Good is Your Bourbonspeak.  Taters, for those unfamiliar with the term are not spuds like you’d buy at […]

Bourbon Holiday Cocktails

As we approach the Christmas holiday, we here at Bourboneur wanted to help you all find some Christmas spirit, with that spirit being bourbon of course!  Although bourbon neat is always a go-to, if you’re hosting an ugly sweater party or just getting together with family and friends this holiday season, having some options for […]
