Bourbon, or American produced whiskey, is slowly growing in popularity globally outside of it’s country of origin. One of the reasons may be the strict guidelines which dictate what constitutes a Bourbon, namely:
- It must be made in the United States.
- It should contain 51 percent corn.
- Be aged in new oak charred barrels.
- Be distilled to no more than 160 proof and entered into the barrel at 125 proof.
- Bottled at no less than 80 proof.
- No added flavoring, coloring or other additives allowed.
If you want to give it a try, these bourbon cocktails can help ease you into becoming a Bourbon connoisseur.
