Embrace the Bourbon was formed by 3 friends who met while serving their country overseas. Andrew Workman, Christopher Watkins, and John McGowan developed their relationship through a deployment to Africa while serving with the Coastal Riverine Force. It was then that these 3 friends shared their love for Bourbon and through that love developed what we have here today. A trusted source for Bourbon Enthusiasts across the nation seeking honest and unbiased reviews. Our reviews are loaded with detailed feedback regardless of price, brand or hype. We are excited to help you on your Bourbon Discovery Journey and are excited to be a source that you can trust and rely on!
