September is Bourbon Heritage Month

Celebrating America’s Spirit – Bourbon, with a dedicated Month.

In recognition of the importance of bourbon to American culture, September has been designated as National Bourbon Heritage Month.

National Bourbon Heritage Month is a time to celebrate not just the spirit itself, but the myriad ways in which bourbon has influenced American life. From its economic contributions and culinary versatility to its role in literature and social movements, bourbon is more than just a spirit; it is a testament to American ingenuity, tradition, and culture. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail, bourbon remains a cherished part of the American experience.

Making the Most of Bourbon Barrels.

Bourbon Barrel Foods has become known for its innovative uses of the bourbon barrel. We age our sauces in the barrel and we also slow smoke our spices with the bourbon barrel stave. The stave is made of oak and it’s been saturated with bourbon for a minimum of 4 years. We don’t fake the flavor! Our process is a natural way to add flavor. The barrel creates a clean, smoky, rich and mellow flavor in all of the products we produce. At Bourbon Barrel Foods we embrace the history and mystique of Kentucky’s Bourbon Country and we’re innovating ways the bourbon barrel makes flavor far beyond the distillery.

The utilization of bourbon barrels by Bourbon Barrel Foods has had a profound impact on the food industry. By repurposing barrels, Bourbon Barrel Foods has innovated a range of unique and flavorful products while also promoting sustainability and upcycling.
