Celebrate ‘the official spirit of America’ with Michigan-made bourbon June 14 is National Bourbon Day
Red Cedar Spirits (Sasha Washington)
Raise a glass of your favorite dark spirit because National Bourbon Day takes place on June 14.
Bourbon has been around for hundreds of years. The roots of the spirit are tied to settlers that came over to North America in the mid-1700s.
According to the national day’s website, Lyndon B. Johnson gave the spirit his presidential stamp in 1964 and declared bourbon “The Official Spirit of America .”
While Kentucky is known for the spirit, Michigan distilleries make the traditional spirit with their own twist that creates powerful flavors but still values American traditions.
