Proof of Life: The Calm Before the Bourbon Storm
It’s Bourbon Heritage Month, which means the bourbon world’s volume knob just got cranked all the way up. Our 12th Annual 30 Days of Bourbon Celebration is underway, and once again this community is proving why it’s the world’s biggest—and rowdiest—online bourbon party. Grab your calendar, pour something new, and let’s make this September one to remember.
And while you’re tracking pours and chasing swag, the whiskey world isn’t slowing down:
- ⚖️ Uncle Nearest just landed in receivership—what that really means for the brand
- 🥃 Tennessee whiskey is having an identity crisis
- 🪵 The world’s largest barrel maker is cutting jobs (and that’s not a good sign)
- 🤔 Woodford Reserve’s still hanging on to that “200 flavors” claim (and we’re still not buying it)
- 📦 Plus: fresh reviews, fall releases, and a Beam throwback that actually respects the past
The boom may be wobbling, but this community? Still standing tall with a glass in hand.
