Eat & Swig [1]

Remember that four part series I did a while back about the process of becoming a Citizen Bourbon Ambassador?  In 

part I [4], I talked about the different ways in which you can learn about bourbon, from following 

bourbonblog.com [5] 

to taking a bourbon education class at 

Haymarket none"> 

Whiskey Bar [6].  In 

part II [7], I talked about trying new bourbons at events and festivals, such as 

The Kentucky Bourbon Festival [8] 

and 

the Legends Series [9].  In 

Part III [10], I talked about touring distilleries, and in 

Part IV [11], I talked about bourbon as a food group (see my Bourbon Soaked Easter Dinner menu 

here [12]).

Well, now it's Derby time in Louisville, and if you haven't started your Citizen Bourbon Ambassador training yet, there's no time like the present.  Here's an 

infographic 

[13]from Maker's Mark about the basics of bourbon-what makes it bourbon and not whiskey.  This is the perfect starting point for your bourbon education.
