Thank you for helping me obtain this bottle. This really is the best group of people.
I am truly speechless. Love Bourbonado.
No BS, just a love for bourbon. Very refreshing.

These people have become some of my greatest friends.
Rep the Community
Every month we drop a limited T-shirt designed from ideas members send in, so the artwork comes straight from the group. Alongside the shirts you will find flasks, hats, glassware, and bar gear built for people who actually use the stuff.
Shop Bourbonado GearCommon Questions
- Yes. Joining costs nothing and there is no credit card involved. You get the courses, the tastings, and the conversation without paying a dime. Some extras like merch drops and barrel picks are optional buys, but the community itself stays free.
- Not a thing. Plenty of members joined knowing only that they liked the smell. Ask the beginner questions. Nobody here scores you on your palate or your shelf.
- Everything runs on Skool, so the courses, posts, tastings, and chat all sit in one place. It works in your browser and on your phone, and you can turn notifications down to whatever keeps you sane.
- Every month we release a limited shirt designed from ideas members send in. When the run sells out, it is gone. Designs get voted on inside the community first, so the shirts come from us, not from a marketing team.
- We taste samples from a distillery, talk them through together, and members vote on the barrel they like best. The winning barrel gets bottled for the group, so your vote actually shows up in the glass.
- We do. Alongside the live Zoom tastings we get together in person for pours, distillery trips, and bar nights. Meetups are posted in the community so you can see what is happening near you.
