September – National Bourbon Month

The entire month of September is National Bourbon Month. Celebrate with William Grant & Sons’ first from-the-ground-up American whiskey, Fistful of Bourbon. A blend of five straight American bourbons (yep, that would make a fistful!) aged at least two years. Fistful of Bourbon is currently found exclusively in Texas. www.fistfulofbourbon.com
