BOURBON JOURNAL ENTRY #001

A Toast to Beginnings

Date: July 2025

Today, we raise our glasses to a dream poured neat—My Bourbonista – Chicago Bourbon Tasting is officially launched. What started as a quiet fascination with the stories inside a glass of Bourbon has become something far more spirited.

My Bourbonista – Chicago Bourbon Tasting is more than a tasting experience—it’s a curated moment of connection, history, and indulgence, designed to elevate every gathering into something memorable. From private celebrations to corporate affairs, from bridal showers and wedding receptions to bourbon-and-bouquet soirées, we believe Bourbon is a conversation starter, a storyteller, and a statement maker. Whether you’re new to the world of whiskey or a seasoned sipper, you’re welcomed here!

Our mission? To bring beauty, personality, and purpose to every pour. And as a woman-owned business, we’re proud to be part of the evolving Bourbon landscape—where tradition meets modern warmth, reshaping its future—one pour, one connection, one unforgettable night at a time.

We bring elegance, story, and spirit to every Bourbon pour. Thanks for being here from the start. We can’t wait to share the journey—and the Bourbon—with you.

Cheers to all things Bourbon! —

Sherri Spontak, Founder Executive Bourbon Steward | My Bourbonista – Chicago Bourbon Tasting
