As the #1 spirit sold in the United States, bourbon needs no introduction, but we’re going to wax poetic about the very best bourbon recipes anyway.

In 2021, Kentucky reported a record breaking 12 million barrels of bourbon in the entire state. With a population of 4.5million people, simple math tells us there are nearly 3x as many barrels of whiskey as there are people.

For some reason, that brings me great comfort. If the apocalypse ever happens, you’ll know where to find me. (If you think I'm kidding, you don't even know me.)

In recent years, bourbon, rye and straight whiskey have exploded in popularity starting with a renewed interest in prohibition era cocktails that has since resulted in a new generation of bourbon swilling imbibers.

From Arby's smoked bourbon to the recently released Dr. Pepper bourbon flavored soda, bourbon is having a serious moment and I hear for al of it.

One of the best parts about this complex spirit is its incredible versatility.

Bourbon pairs as well with meat and seafood as it does with desserts and coffee in addition to making a great addition to many recipe.
