Yes. No, not necessarily. Jim Beam Distilleries also makes and markets Jim Beam Rye, which is rye whiskey, not bourbon whiskey. Jim Beam Rye has a tan label, and the much more common Jim Beam bourbon has a white label, and contains the words "Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey."

It contains 51% corn in the mash, which makes it a bourbon. It has to contain less than 51% of anything to be a straight whiskey, or 51% rye to be a rye whiskey. It is filtered uniquely by using sugar maple charcoal, but it is still technically a bourbon.
Rye versus BourbonNo.Rye whiskey (or whiskey in the U.K.), which is making a bit of a comeback in popularity, is made from rye, the same grain used in rye bread, whereas bourbon is made primarily from corn. I say "primarily" because to be called Bourbon it must be made from a grain mix that contains at least 51 percent corn. Other grains, such as wheat, barley, and rye, are permitted in the mixture. The better sipping bourbons use more corn.
It depends. Bourbon is a subset of whiskey. Other whiskeys include Tennessee, Scotch, Canadian, and Rye. Using Scotch or Canadian whiskey in place of bourbon would not be advisable because of taste differences. If bourbon is not available, try a Kentucky or Tennessee whiskey like Early Times or Jack Daniels. Happy mixing!
