What is National Bourbon Heritage Month?

National Bourbon Heritage Month is an observance in the United States that calls for celebration of bourbon as America's "Native Spirit". On August 2, 2007, the US Senate declared September as "National Bourbon Heritage Month." The bill, sponsored by Republican Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky, passed by unanimous consent. The resolution calls for consumers who enjoy bourbon to do so responsibly and in moderation. The bill reinforces the 1964 Act of Congress that declared bourbon "America's Native Spirit" by celebrating the family heritage, tradition and deep-rooted legacy that the bourbon industry contributes to the United States.

2021 30 Days of Bourbon Drinking Calendar Image

Starting September 1st, join us in enjoying 30 different Bourbons, one for each day of the month. There is no repeat during the month. However, since we're all having issues getting out to our favorite bar this, a Bourbon that comes in both an 80-proof and 86-proof version will count as different bourbons this year. And as usual, something like Four Roses, which has ten different mash bills, those ten mash bills are distinctly different.

No Rye, no Scotch, no American Malt, just good, old-fashioned Bourbon. Speaking of Old-Fashioned, cocktails do count, so long as you're able to nail down the Bourbon used.
