As the calendar gets set to turn to September, that can only mean one thing: National Bourbon Heritage Month. As group sales manager at the Frazier History Museum, business is booming, and busy season is about to get busier. This can only mean it’s the perfect time for any and all Bourbon enthusiasts to consider planning a date to book a tour and tasting to do some Sippin’ with Stephen.

As the official starting point of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®, the Frazier History Museum is the ideal location to start your Borbon experience or to have a day excursion with a group looking to experience the history and lore that is Kentucky Bourbon.

Sippin’ with Stephen has a dual meaning.

First, it’s the title of my YouTube show that highlights the Frazier’s distillery partners and what they have to offer folks looking to create their own Bourbon experience and memories. In each episode, I interview a guest from a different distiller and we make a cocktail or review a Bourbon expression. Fantastic guests, recipes, and Bourbon knowledge are brought to you monthly via the Frazier Weekly newsletter, which goes out each Monday to our 35,000 subscribers, free of charge. Frazier Weekly keeps subscribers up to speed with everything going on at the Frazier Museum. Click here to view a recent episode of Sippin’ with Stephen.

Second, Sippin’ with Stephen is booking a group tour and tasting with me in the fantastic Speakeasy at the Frazier. Groups assmall as eight can book a tour of the Frazier’s Spirit of Kentucky® Bourbon exhibition and then retire into our Speakeasy fora tasting of three bourbons from three different distilleries. Just click here to learn more or book your own personalized Bourbon experience. This is a spectacular way to celebrate National Bourbon Heritage month with friends, family, or fellow Bourbon enthusiasts! You also get access to the Frazier Museum and all it has to offer patrons.

If you don’t have eight in your group, no worries. The Frazier offers four different daily tastings for as few as two and as many as twenty-five guests. From our Ready, Set, Go! tasting to Craft your Own Cocktail Class, the Kentucky Hug, and Flight Club, the Frazier has options for everyone—from first-time Bourbon drinkers to the most ardent of Bourbon enthusiasts.

So if you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate National Bourbon Heritage Month, we cordially invite you to experience what the Frazier History Museum has on tap this September. Come join me at the Frazier, where the world meets Kentucky! And who are we kidding, no introduction to Kentucky is complete without at least the option to sample America’s only native spirit.
