Answer 2

Bourbon is a specific type of whiskey.

Exactly what must be true for a whiskey to be labelled as "bourbon" varies, depending on what the law is where you live, but in general bourbon is:

• made in the US
• from a grain mixture consisting of at least 51% corn
• aged in new, charred oak barrels
• distilled to not more than 160 US proof (80% alcohol by volume)
• entered the aging barrels at not more than 125 US proof
• bottled at not less than 80 US proof

In the US, it is perfectly legal to label and market bourbon as whiskey, but not the other way around unless the whiskey meets all the requirements above.

Answer 3

Vodka is a neutral grain spirit that is not aged in wood barrels and thus has no color. It is distilled from absolutely anything and highly refined, but usually is made from wheat, rye, barley, corn, or potatoes. Whisky is made from a "wort" which is basically beer, then distilled and aged in wood barrels which gives it a distinctive color. Neither vodka or whisky will age in the bottle, but whisky does age while left in the barrel. Vodka treated with Skittles ages so rapidly that the consumer will appear to be a child who doesn't belong in a bar.
