The Bourbon Table

Four Seats. Four Bourbons. One American Spirit.

Thanksgiving brings everyone back to the table, and everyone brings something different with them.

This November, four bourbons will take four seats at ours, each with its own personality, history, and way of doing things.

There’s the traditionalist, who arrives with the flowers and knows that the best gatherings are often a blend of different personalities. Then there’s the peacemaker, who knows how to smooth things over, although you might want to keep an eye on them when the good stuff comes out. Some things at the table have been known to mysteriously disappear.

Then there’s the kid home from college, eager to share a new riff on how things should be done, only for the rest of the table to realize that some of those new ideas have been around for generations. What was once old has a way of becoming new again.

And finally, someone brings dessert. Richer, sweeter, and deserving of a second helping, with just enough held in reserve for later. It’s a fitting reminder that sometimes once through just isn’t enough.

Behind the personalities is a serious look at what makes these bourbons different. We’ll explore mashbills, grain choices, blending, proof, Bottled-in-Bond, maturation, and the stories behind the distilleries that put each bottle on the table.
