Bourbon & the Presidency: A Series Celebrating America’s Whiskey-Loving Leaders

With the presidential election season upon us, there’s no better time to celebrate the presidents who embodied America’s spirit—quite literally! Throughout U.S. history, several presidents have enjoyed bourbon or whiskey, and each had their own unique way of connecting with this timeless American beverage. In honor of election season, I’ll be sharing a new post each day as part of a special series called Bourbon & the Presidency, highlighting a different bourbon-loving president and their distinctive relationship with America’s Native Spirit. From George Washington’s distillery at Mount Vernon to Harry Truman’s daily bourbon ritual, each president’s story offers a glimpse into a legacy of bourbon in the White House. Join me as we uncover the fascinating tales of bourbon-drinking presidents, with each post dedicated to a different leader who raised a glass to America’s finest. So come back everyday to see who I write about next. Tomorrow you’ll hear all about our first President and his passion for this great American Spirit.
