Category: Bourbon

Bourbon is a type of American whiskey that is made primarily from corn. To be considered bourbon, the whiskey must be made from at least 51% corn and aged in new, charred oak barrels for at least two years. The aging process gives bourbon its characteristic amber color and a complex taste that can include notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. Bourbons are usually smoother and sweeter than other types of whiskey. The production of bourbon is restricted to the United States, but it can be enjoyed worldwide.
