Bourbon is a distinct style of whiskey that must be made from at least 51% corn, giving it a unique sweetness and character. This American spirit is primarily produced in the United States, with Kentucky being its most famous region, although it can also be found in states like Tennessee and Indiana. Bourbon undergoes distillation using either pot stills or column stills and is typically distilled to no more than 125 proof (62.5% ABV). To qualify as straight bourbon, it must be aged for a minimum of two years in new charred oak barrels.
The flavor profile of bourbon is rich and complex, often featuring notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and spice—particularly from rye when used as an additional grain. Its texture tends to be smooth with a full-bodied mouthfeel that can finish sweetly with hints of chocolate or nutmeg. Bourbon’s versatility makes it a popular choice for classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Mint Julep, and Bourbon Sour. Variations like straight bourbon, small batch bourbon, single barrel bourbon, and high rye bourbon further showcase the diversity within this beloved spirit category.
