A Beginner's Guide to Bourbon

This is my beginners guide to bourbon where I talk through what makes a whiskey a bourbon, how to read a bourbon label when you go to the store and of course, my top bourbon picks for anyone wanting to begin their start into trying bourbon. In this video I provide available bourbons from different distilleries that offer different flavor profiles for you to explore.

I watch a few bourbon channels on youtube and while I admit that I've learned quite a bit from them, I watch most of them purely for the entertainment value of their taste tests.

I was watching one channel a while back, might even be this one, where the guy takes a sip and says something like he's picking up a country breakfast of bacon and eggs, sliced fruit and a side of buckwheat pancakes with dripping with maple syrup.

Okay, if you say so.....
