About Buidealair
In the world of beverages, the wine industry celebrates its experts
with the title of Sommelier, while beer aficionados are recognized
as Cicerones. These prestigious titles honor their mastery of
palate development. ​Yet, bourbon, America's own spirit, has long
been without a comparable designation. This oversight is now
rectified.
​Introducing Buidealair (pronounced boo-de-lair): a Scots-Gaelic
term meaning "butler," paying homage to the Scottish heritage of
bourbon. Inspired by the French word "Sommelier," which
translates to "waiter," Buidealair elevates bourbon to the
esteemed ranks of its beverage counterparts.​
This distinguished title acknowledges and celebrates those who
have dedicated themselves to the art of bourbon tasting,
recognizing their deep understanding and mastery of this
uniquely American spirit.​​
​
For those seeking to develop their tasting abilities with bourbon,
or others ready to validate their expertise with an official
designation, you can hold the title of Buidealair.
