Frequently Asked Questions
What makes bourbon different from other whiskeys?
Bourbon must be made in the U.S., contain at least 51% corn in the mash bill, be aged in new charred oak barrels, and be distilled to no more than 160 proof. These rules distinguish it from other whiskeys like Scotch or Irish whiskey.
Does bourbon have to be made in Kentucky?
No, bourbon can be made anywhere in the United States. However, Kentucky is the most famous bourbon-producing state due to its long history and ideal aging conditions.
How long does bourbon need to be aged?
To be called “straight bourbon,” it must be aged for at least two years. If aged less than four years, the label must state the age. There is no minimum aging requirement for regular bourbon, but most are aged at least a few years for better flavor.
What’s the best way to drink bourbon?
There’s no single best way—bourbon can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, with a splash of water, or in cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan. It depends on personal taste and the bourbon’s flavor profile.
