Bourbon has been woven into the fabric of America since its founding, with George Washington — a founding father — owning one of the largest whiskey distilleries, located on Mount Vernon. It is a distinct product of the United States, America’s native spirit. And this month we celebrate it during National Bourbon Heritage Month. Craft these bourbon cocktails to celebrate and share with us on social media using #coppercraftdistillery.
