What types of Bourbon will I receive?

We like to feature various types of bourbon, in our Bourbon of the Month Club so you can explore different flavors, expand your palate, and enhance your bourbon knowledge. With the Bourbon of the Month Club, you'll receive bourbons made from a unique mash bill, such as Wheat Bourbon, high rye bourbon, high corn bourbon, or 4-grain bourbon. You'll also receive high-quality bourbons that have been aged for at least two years in this bourbon club.These include straight bourbon, blended bourbon, cask strength bourbon, single barrel bourbon, and small batch bourbon, which are all hand-crafted by award-winning distilleries in the US. Occasionally, we'll also feature Bottled in Bond Bourbon Whiskey in this bourbon subscription, which goes through an extra set of regulations for quality control.

What is the alcohol by volume (ABV) of the Bourbon of the Month Club selections?

After maturing, bourbon is withdrawn from the barrel, typically filtered, and diluted with water before being bottled at no less than 80 US proof (40% ABV). While 80 US proof is the most common, other proofs such as 86, 90, and 100 are also prevalent.Apart from the standard proofs, there are variations like barrel strength or overproof whiskey. Cask strength whiskey, with an ABV ranging between 50-75%, often presents at the typical dram strength of 60-65% ABV. In contrast, regular whiskey undergoes dilution to achieve a standard ABV, usually 40%, ensuring consistency across each batch.Most of the bottles featured in the Bourbon of the Month Club will be closer to cask strength, offering a more robust flavor profile that bourbon enthusiasts appreciate.

What is a Bourbon of the Month Club?

A Bourbon of the Month Club is a membership that regularly delivers a full-sized bottle (or several) to your door, usually monthly or quarterly, making it one of the best bourbon clubs out there.

Is Bourbon the same thing as whiskey?

If they're both made from grains, aren't they the same thing? Well, not exactly. Whiskey is a broad category; within it are many sub-categories and types. Bourbon is a specific type of American whiskey and the most popular form of American whiskey. We go into more detail in our post about Bourbon vs. Whiskey.

What are the criteria for a Bourbon to be a Bourbon?

It must be made in the USA.It must be made with a mash bill of at least 51% corn. Distillers can use a combination of any other grains in the other 49%. These often include rye, barley, and/or wheat grain.It must be aged in "new" charred American oak barrels. There is no specification of how long a bourbon must be aged, but if it's labeled as a "straight" bourbon, it must be aged for at least two years. If there is no age statement, it's usually a younger bourbon, aged less than two years.It must be distilled to no more than 80% ABV.When it enters the barrel, it can't be more than 62.5% ABV.At bottling, it must be at 40% ABV or more, which is standard for other whiskeys as well.

How are the bourbons aged?

Bourbon must be aged in "new" charred American oak barrels. There is no specification of how long a bourbon must be aged, but if it's labeled as a "straight" bourbon, it must be aged for at least two years. If there is no age statement, it's usually a younger bourbon under two years old.However, after this qualification is met, each distillery is free to come up with its own unique production style and barrel finishes. We love that there are so many options when it comes to barrel selection and the aging period, and we're fascinated that a simple variation (like the environment) can change the flavor and characteristics of each expression. And we're excited to share this experience with you in the Bourbon of the Month Club.

How do I enjoy my Bourbon of the Month Club bottle?

To enjoy your Bourbon of the Month Club bottle, you need to know that sipping bourbon is an experience that begins with reading the bottle label. Once you've familiarized yourself with the label, notice the color and body of the bourbon in its bottle. Hold it up to the light and notice the depth of the shade—most are golden, copper, or amber-colored. Then, you'll want to choose a glass with a wide mouth to enhance the aromas, and when you pour your bourbon, let it open up in your glass while you swish it around and admire it.When you're ready to sip it, let the juice roll across your tongue before swallowing so that the flavors linger in your mouth for a few seconds. Then, breathe out through your nose and mouth to get the full range of flavors. Notice if the bourbon offers spicy, sweet, earthy, oaky, or citrusy notes. You may even get different flavors in your second and third sips—almost like it's alive on your palate. Bourbon isn't for chugging, so savor each moment of your bourbon club experience and sip it slowly.There is no right or wrong way to drink bourbon, but be sure to taste it "neat" first. Then, feel free to experiment with other ways of sipping it: with a chunk of ice, a splash of water, or as the base of a cocktail.

How do I pair my Bourbon of the Month Club bottle with food?

Bourbon can be sipped by itself or paired with some foods, where every pairing can be done with complementing or contrasting flavors. In a complementary pairing, the flavors of the bourbon and the food melt into each other. In a contrasting pairing, you bring out flavors in the bourbon or food to create a new or unexpected flavor, adding a layer of excitement to the tasting.For example, a sweet bourbon from the Bourbon of the Month Club can be complemented by other sweet flavors like a chocolate bar or bowl of berries or a more complex dish like chocolate mousse or a fruit tart. But if you're looking to contrast a bourbon's sweetness, try more salty foods, like nuts, crackers, or fried chicken, all while exploring new options through our bourbon club.Additionally, contrast is useful when pairing acids and salts. For example, the saltiness of the cheese, along with its lactic acid, contrasts nicely with bourbon. It can also de-emphasize the peppery notes, letting in some of the lemon or citrus notes in the juice. With your bourbon subscription, you can try all of these different food pairings each month!

What if I want different types of liquor aside from the Bourbon of the Month Club?

We have a club for every taste. If you can't choose just one, check out our Stock the Bar Club, which features a different alcohol type each month.
