Made mostly from corn and aged in new charred oak barrels, bourbon whiskey brings a sweet, smoky, and oaky flavor that makes it a favorite among whiskey lovers. Whether you're new to sipping or a seasoned enthusiast, there's something special about that first taste of a well-aged bourbon.
What Makes Bourbon Whiskey Unique?
To be called Bourbon Whiskey, it must meet a few key rules:
- Made in the USA (though most comes from Kentucky)
- At least 51% corn in the mash
- Aged in new charred oak barrels
- Distilled to no more than 160 proof
- Entered into the barrel at 125 proof or lower
These rules give bourbon its distinct, smooth character that’s both sweet and strong – like vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood all wrapped into one perfect sip.
