Quiet This Week. Working the Whole Time.
Head down, future looking up. Partnerships and collabs in the works all week.
The Bourbon Poor scale
Buy it. Pour it. Try it. Pass.
Buy it
Worth a spot on the shelf.
Pour it
Order it at the bar. Maybe not a bottle.
Try it
Taste before you commit.
Pass
Not for us. Spend the money elsewhere.

- Veteran and charity nights that put your name to good use
Who we pour with
The shop
Rep the Bourbon Poor
Polos, hats, glassware, stickers and a challenge coin, because of course there is a coin. First run is on the way.
Why the Bourbon Poor?
Because bourbon has a funny way of turning disposable income into bottles.
One bottle becomes two. Two becomes a shelf. The shelf becomes a cabinet.
Then someone tells you about an allocated release.
You know the rest.
Allocated
and broke.
