As the leaves turn amber and the air takes on that crisp, autumn edge, November invites us to slow down, gather with loved ones, and raise a glass to gratitude. This month at Lactodorum Whiskey Club, we’re celebrating Thanksgiving in true American style with a special edition tasting set featuring three exceptional bourbons from the USA.
A Toast to Bourbon: America’s Native Spirit
Bourbon is more than just a whiskey, it’s an American legend. By law, bourbon must be made in the United States, distilled from at least 51% corn, and aged in new charred oak barrels, giving it that signature sweetness and deep caramel warmth.
Kentucky remains bourbon’s spiritual home, producing over 95% of the world’s supply, but great bourbon can come from anywhere across the States. From small-batch craft distilleries to time-honoured names, bourbon embodies a tradition of craftsmanship and pride that pairs perfectly with Thanksgiving’s spirit of home and heritage.
A few fascinating bourbon facts to sip on:
The name “bourbon” likely comes from Bourbon County, Kentucky, named after the French royal family who supported America during the Revolutionary War.
Bourbon barrels can only be used once, after that, many find new life ageing Scotch, rum, or even hot sauce.
It’s the only distilled spirit recognized by the U.S. Congress as a “distinctive product of the United States.”
The Story of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving traces its roots back to 1621, when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people shared a feast to celebrate a successful harvest. It became a national holiday in 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of “Thanksgiving and Praise.”
Today, it’s a cherished American tradition, a time for family, friends, and, of course, feasting. Turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and NFL are all part of the day’s festivities. And as the sun sets, many families enjoy a quiet drink together the perfect time to pour a glass of something rich and warming.
The Perfect Gift for the Season of Gratitude
Our November Bourbon Tasting Gift Set is designed to bring a taste of American tradition to your glass. Inside, you’ll find three beautifully balanced bourbons, each showcasing a different expression of this iconic spirit from smooth vanilla and toffee notes to bold oak and spice.
Whether you’re gifting it to a whiskey lover or treating yourself to something special for the season, this tasting set captures the essence of Thanksgiving: warmth, sharing, and appreciation for the good things in life.
So gather round, pour a dram, and join us in raising a toast to gratitude and to bourbon, America’s finest gift to the whiskey world.
Available now for November only.
