Elevate your bourbon beyond the distillery
Bourbon making doesn't just have to take place within the grounds of a major distillery. There are many ways you can add age and flavor to your favorite mash bills or bourbons right at home. Whether you want to provide a strong oak profile or add different wood flavors like cherry, there are plenty of alternatives and ways to get creative right in your own kitchen. This lets you play with your favorite bourbons and make them your own or lets you try to age and build something from scratch. Below I have included some personal blends and some popular one's people discuss on social media and the internet along with my tasting notes for each finished product.
