Bourbon whiskey

Bourbon whiskey is a type of American whiskey primarily made from corn, with a legal requirement that at least 51% of its grain mash be corn. It is aged in new charred oak barrels, which gives it a rich flavor and amber color. To be classified as bourbon, it must be produced in the United States and follow specific regulations concerning distillation and aging. Generally sweeter and fuller-bodied than other whiskeys, bourbon is often enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails like the classic Old Fashioned. It's a key part of American heritage and culture.
