The holiday season is here, and what better way to celebrate than with bourbon? This December, I’m bringing you a special series: The 12 Days of Bourbon Christmas. Starting on December 13th and leading up to Christmas Day, I’ll be tasting and sharing stories about 12 exceptional bourbons that capture the spirit of the season. From classic staples to bold, innovative expressions, each day will feature a new bourbon along with tasting notes, holiday pairing ideas, and maybe even a festive cocktail or two. This won’t be some store-bought edition filled with swill—instead, I’ll be hand-selecting 12 different bourbons from my own collection, even dipping into some of my favorites. This journey will explore a wide variety of bourbons, and I’ll give my honest reviews, sharing what makes each pour perfect (or not-so-perfect) for the holidays.
What to Expect
Here’s a sneak peek of what you can look forward to in this series:
- A deep dive into iconic bourbons like Buffalo Trace and Maker’s Mark, exploring their rich histories and why they’ve become holiday favorites.
- Discoveries from small-batch producers and craft distilleries, celebrating the artistry and innovation shaping the bourbon world today.
- Seasonal favorites with hints of spice, sweetness, and warmth—perfect for pairing with holiday treats or enjoying by the fire.
