Well not just Bourbon, but there Society of Wine Educators who have a wine Sommelier program, also have a Certified Specialist of Spirits designation - http://www.societyofwineeducators.or...tification/css - and I have this.

I've heard of whisky sommeliers, but not specifically for bourbon.

I know that for wine it's a Sommelier.
For beer it's a Cicerone

For bourbon it's Barturtle.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to step forward like this. :D

I've heard people call bourbon experts a wide variety of names, most of which I won't repeat.

I prefer Gentlemen of Discerning Taste.

The 19th century called it: A Judge of Good Whiskey.
