***National Bourbon Day is celebrated on June 14th each year and is an occasion to pay tribute to one of the world's most iconic spirits***. It is a particularly important drink in the United States, where most of the world's bourbon is produced. According to U.S. standards, bourbon must be made with ***51% corn, aged in new, charred oak barrels, and distilled to a maximum proof of 160 proof (80% alcohol).*** While all bourbons are whiskeys, not all whiskeys are bourbons. > El Día Nacional del Bourbon se celebra el 14 de junio de cada año y es una ocasión para rendir homenaje a una de las bebidas alcohólicas más emblemáticas del mundo. Es una bebida especialmente importante en Estados Unidos, donde se produce la mayor parte del bourbon mundial. Según las normas estadounidenses , el bourbon debe elaborarse con un ***51 % de maíz, envejecerse en barricas nuevas de roble carbonizado y destilarse hasta alcanzar una graduación alcohólica máxima de 160 grados (80% de alcohol).*** Si bien todos los bourbons son whiskies, no todos los whiskies son bourbons. While we don't know for sure when National Bourbon Day was first celebrated or who started it, we fortunately know quite a bit about the history of this spirit. It's a drink that began to be distilled after the 18th century, but the origin of its name has been lost to history. Some believe that bourbon owes its name to Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it was originally distilled, and others believe it comes from Bourbon Street in New Orleans. > Aunque no sabemos con certeza cuándo se celebró por primera vez el Día Nacional del Bourbon ni quién lo inició, afortunadamente conocemos bastante sobre la historia de esta bebida. Se trata de una bebida que se empezó a destilar después del siglo XVIII, pero el origen de su nombre se ha perdido en la historia. Algunos creen que el bourbon debe su nombre al condado de Bourbon, en Kentucky, donde se destilaba originalmente, y otros creen que proviene de Bourbon Street en Nueva Orleans. Bourbon is an American spirit that can be produced anywhere in the United States, but it is primarily distilled in Kentucky, which accounts for 95% of global production. Unfortunately, because much of bourbon's origin story is shrouded in legend, it is unknown who first began making it; however, its development is generally understood to have taken place between the 1850s and 1870s. In the United States, the legal requirements for a spirit to be labeled bourbon are as follows: - The product must be manufactured in the United States. - It must be made from a mixture of grains containing at least 51% corn. - It must be aged in new, charred oak barrels. - It cannot have an alcohol content higher than 160 proof or approximately 80% alcohol by volume. - It must be introduced into the aging vessel with an alcohol content not exceeding 125 proof or 62.5%. > El bourbon es una bebida espirituosa estadounidense que puede elaborarse en cualquier lugar de Estados Unidos, pero se destila principalmente en Kentucky, donde se produce el 95% de la producción mundial. Desafortunadamente, dado que gran parte de la historia del origen del bourbon está rodeada de leyendas, se desconoce quién comenzó a elaborarlo ; se sabe que su desarrollo tuvo lugar entre las décadas de 1850 y 1870. En los Estados Unidos, los requisitos legales para que una bebida espirituosa se denomine bourbon son los siguientes: -El producto debe estar fabricado en Estados Unidos. -Debe estar elaborado con una mezcla de cereales que contenga al menos un 51% de maíz. -Debe envejecerse en barricas nuevas de roble carbonizado. -No puede tener una graduación alcohólica superior a 160 grados o alrededor del 80% de alcohol. -Debe introducirse en el recipiente de añejamiento con una graduación alcohólica no superior a 125 grados o 62,5%.

Well hey there, did ya miss us? We missed you! So much, in fact, that we have rescheduled our 'Family Time' to Fridays and we hope to see you there! Join our lovely band of outcasts, normies, goofballs, pimps, degenerates, professionals and all things within and without and betwixt and between starting **6 pm CST/ 7 pm EST**. We always try to have a little fun and and if you're paying attention, a few smiles might just be shared. We like to smile. We like to laugh. We realize that life isn't all about the important things like #politics, #religion and #sex, no, it's about the time spent, the experiences had and memories made. Memories get passed on, experiences are shared and time - time is the currency we spend to acquire them. > Bueno, hola, ¿nos extrañaste? ¡Te extrañamos! De hecho, tanto, que hemos reprogramado nuestro 'Tiempo en familia' para los viernes ¡y esperamos verte allí! Únase a nuestra encantadora banda de marginados, normativos, tontos, proxenetas, degenerados, profesionales y todo lo relacionado con dentro y fuera y entre y a partir de **6 p.m. CST/ 7 p.m. EST**. Siempre tratamos de divertirnos un poco y, si estás prestando atención, es posible que compartamos algunas sonrisas. Nos gusta sonreír. Nos gusta reír. Nos damos cuenta de que la vida no se trata solo de cosas importantes como la #política, la #religión y el #sexo, no, se trata del tiempo invertido, las experiencias vividas y los recuerdos creados. Los recuerdos se transmiten, las experiencias se comparten y el tiempo... el tiempo es la moneda que gastamos para adquirirlos. It just may be worth your time to [visit the Castle](https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh) and come check us out. Unlike the 'Addams Family' shows, all of this is live, unrehearsed and not recorded before any audience. Funny things happen. Sad things happen. Smiles and tears get shared. Worries and hopes are passed around. Sometimes, we even eat #pizza, cake and ice cream. Sometimes, we watch movies. Sometimes, giant insects attack the microphones and we have to get out our silly swatters and smack 'em up so we have something to snack on because the popcorn got eaten already by little slugs that left slimy trails everywhere and made the sidewalks slippery so that the pancakes didn't get enough traction on our canoes to steer the spaceships. Exactly. > Puede que valga la pena dedicar tiempo a [visitar el castillo](https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh) y venir a vernos. A diferencia de los shows de 'La Familia Addams', todo esto es en vivo, sin ensayar y no grabado ante ninguna audiencia. Suceden cosas divertidas. Suceden cosas tristes. Se comparten sonrisas y lágrimas. Se transmiten preocupaciones y esperanzas. A veces, incluso comemos #pizza, tarta y helado. A veces vemos películas. A veces, los insectos gigantes atacan los micrófonos y tenemos que sacar nuestros tontos matamoscas y golpearlos para tener algo de comer porque las palomitas de maíz ya se las comieron pequeñas babosas que dejaron rastros viscosos por todas partes y dejaron las aceras resbaladizas para que los panqueques no tuvieran suficiente tracción en nuestras canoas para dirigir las naves espaciales. Exactamente. https://youtu.be/olucW6ar6Q0
