So what is bourbon? I am soooo confused. Whiskey is an alcoholic distillate from a fermented mash of grain produced at less than 190 proof in such a manner that the distillate possesses the taste, aroma, and characteristics generally attributed to whiskey, stored in oak containers (except that corn whiskey need not be so stored), and bottled at not less than 80 proof, and also includes mixtures of such distillates for which no specific standards of identity are prescribed. Bourbon is whiskey. All bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskeys are bourbon. For a whiskey to qualify as bourbon, the law, by international agreement, stipulates that it must be made in the USA. It must be made from at least 51% and no more than 79% Indian corn, and aged for at least two years. It must be distilled at no more than 160 proof (80% alcohol by volume). Bourbon can be made anywhere in the U.S., but, all but a couple of brands are made in Kentucky. Only the state of Kentucky can produce bourbon with the name "Bourbon" on the label. The name comes from Bourbon county in the central bluegrass region of Kentucky. This county was named in 1785 to honor the French royal family and was once the major transshipment site for shipping distilled spirits down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. Barrels shipped from there were stamped with the county's name, which then became the name of this kind of whiskey. Interestingly, there are no distillers in Bourbon county, Kentucky right now. |
