What is Bourbon?
Bourbon whiskey is America’s top distilled spirit, crafted under specific rules to ensure quality and authenticity. A whiskey can be called Bourbon when it’s made from atleast 51% corn, it should be distilled below 80% ABV, distilled in charred oak barrels under 62.50% ABV, and must be bottled at least 40% ABV. This unique American whiskey is prominently made in Kentucky, but can now be made anywhere in the U.S. All these strict details and rules give it a smooth , complex flavour of vanilla, caramel, and spice, which makes this distilled spirit called Bourbon.
What is Bourbon Whiskey Made From?
At least 51% corn is used to make bourbon whisky, with malted barley helping in fermentation and rye or wheat contributing smoothness or spice. The mash is matured in fresh, charred American oak barrels after being distilled in copper stills using pure limestone water. With this method, the rich, nuanced flavours of authentic bourbon whiskey are crafted, offering whisky lovers something truly unique to discover in every sip.
