Bourbon

Bourbon, America’s native spirit, hails primarily from Kentucky. It must contain at least 51% corn, contributing to its characteristically sweet flavor, and aged in new charred oak barrels, which impart a rich, smooth vanilla tone.

Whiskey

Whiskey serves as the umbrella term for a family of distilled spirits made from fermented grain mash. This broad category encompasses various styles, including the renowned Scotch and Bourbon, each defined by unique production methods and geographical influences.
