What Makes Bourbon Unique?
Bourbon is the most celebrated style of American whiskey. By law, it must be made in the United States, distilled with at least 51% corn, and aged in new charred oak barrels. This process imparts the signature notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and spice that define Bourbon’s character.
Other expressions include:
-
Tennessee Whiskey — charcoal-filtered for smoothness, with Jack Daniel’s as its global ambassador.
-
American Single Malts — crafted from 100% malted barley, with producers like Westward leading the way.
