Bourbon Tasting Party.  Y’all, I am Southern born and bred, and I am a good Irish girl that enjoys a little sip of bourbon from time to time!  I recently celebrated a milestone birthday, and I invited friends over for an open house style celebration.  Of course I set up the backyard party space with a limited bar for my friends and family.  I was SHOCKED to hear how many of my friends had never even *tried* bourbon.  I am so serious! After the party I decided to invite a few friends over to sip some bourbon, and drink it mixed with a few beverages.

We keep a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon at the house all the time, and I really love it!  It’s great for sipping, mixing, and even cooking and baking.  But, I wanted to see if that was the flavor profile that best suited my tastes, you know without buying a bunch of $40 bottles of bourbon….So, I checked out the Whiskey5.com site, I selected the flavors I typically lean toward; smooth, Spicy, Bold, Sweet, and Smoky.  Next, I clicked get results and allowed the website to choose the brand and style that fit within my tastes best.  My selection was Bold, so, I went to the store and purchased Bulleit 10 year Bourbon.  The aging produced a deep flavor full of oak, and a charred smokiness.  I could almost smell it as I sipped my glass.  If you prefer a more sweet bourbon, the Bulleit Bourbon is amazing as well.  Once I had the bourbon, I called my girlfriends and invited them over for some girl talk and bourbon tasting.  

Before the girls arrived, I mixed up some peach syrup and made some good old fashioned Southern sun tea.  I kept the pitcher of sun tea in the refrigerator, and placed the Bulleit 10 year and Bulleit Bourbon on a tray.  I made some cute wooden tags to attach to the bottles to note sweet or bold.  I pre-filled mason jars with ice, and sliced up several fresh peaches.  Finally, I poured the peach syrup into a bottle, and washed some fresh mint.  I was ready for the girls!

When the girls arrived, we chatted and snacked on light foods, and I poured everyone a shot of their preferred bourbon, over ice, and encouraged them to sip and taste the flavor.  Once they sipped the bourbons, everyone mixed their Southern Cocktails.  Fill a glass with ice, and add tea.  Add peach syrup to taste, add an ounce and a half of Bulleit 10 year or Bulleit Bourbon.  Garnish with fresh mint and sliced peaches.  Ideally, this is sipped on a warm summer day on a wrap around porch in the South…however, you could sip it from the comfort of the ac, in the suburbs with your favorite people!

    It looks like you had a fun time! The Peach Syrup sounds like it would be great for a variety of drinks. #client
