Welcome to Part 5 of our Evolution of Bourbon. To end our series, we jump to right after World War 2 when Bourbon is starting coming out of favor. This leads to the creation of Small Batch and Single Barrel Bourbons in the 1980’s.

As stewards of the American Whiskey industry, we have a longstanding belief that it’s our responsibility to care for the natural resources we use to craft our spirits. That way, we can help ensure there’s high-quality Whiskey on shelves for many generations to come.
The truth is, any Bourbon fan would be delighted to unwrap a bottle of American Whiskey this holiday. While there’s nothing wrong with simply sharing the spirit itself, we’d like to recommend some well-matched “plus-up” items that can help turn a Whiskey into the most memorable gift of the season.
