Bourbon is a type of American whiskey predominantly made in Kentucky. It is made of a blend of different grains, with the bulk of the grain alcohol coming from corn, and grains such as malted barley, rye, or wheat making up the rest. Federal standards, issued by Congress in 1964, stipulate that bourbon must be a grain mixture made of at least 51 percent corn, produced in the United States, and distilled to no more than 160 proof, with nothing other than water added to the mixture (aside from yeast). It must also be aged in new, charred-oak barrels, among other requirements.

∙ 15y agoBourbon could be many things ... roses for exampel or a french King that provided the name of bourbon street in New Orleans.. and as well is the origin of Bourbon County in Kentucky as well as in Kansas. If we refere to the Whiskey .. then it is Bourbon County in Kentucky in Bluegrass that is the origin of Bourbon, to be bourbon it has to be made by 51-80% corn and be stored 2 year on new oak casks. Jack Daniels i.e. is not Bourbon ...though a lot of people believe so. Peter the Viking
