Bourbon Heritage Month is an exciting celebration that takes place every September, following its designation by the U.S. Senate in 2007 to recognize bourbon whiskey. Fun activities during this month include supporting local distilleries, visiting production facilities, hosting tasting events, preparing bourbon-based cocktails, and using bourbon in cooking. The observance also highlights the historical role and economic impact of bourbon.
How to Celebrate Bourbon Heritage Month
Here are some ideas to make this month particularly special...
Educate Yourself:
Learn about the history of bourbon, how it's made, and the different types and brands. A great place to begin is at the Frazier History Museum, the official starting point of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail™.
Tour a Distillery:
Visit a local distillery or one of the major distilleries along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail™. For many Bourbon lovers, a visit to the Bourbon Trail™ is the culmination of a lifelong dream. There are several companies who offer both custom and private guided tours including transportation and a Southern cooked meal!
Host a Tasting:
Organize a bourbon tasting with friends and sample different expressions and styles. Make sure to have paper and pens for tasting notes or there are several apps you can download on your phone. If you have bourbon aficionados in your group, consider doing a bourbon trivia game with a bottle to take home for the winner.
Mix Cocktails:
Try your hand at classic bourbon cocktails like the Old Fashioned or the Mint Julep. Go on your favorite bourbon brand’s website and look for recipes. You’ll find traditional ones and some twists on the classics.
Savor in Food:
Use bourbon in recipes for marinades, sauces, and desserts, such as bourbon-glazed salmon or pecan pie.
Attend Events:
Look for festivals like the Kentucky Bourbon Festival or local bourbon events. Read this article about all the fun festivals being held in September.
However you choose to spend this bourbon-loving month, make it one to remember. Surround yourself with friends and family and one of the best spirits every made.
