BOURBON: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOURBON AND WHISKEY

Bourbon can only be produced in the United States (not just Kentucky). It's made from a mash bill of at least 51% corn and then matured in a brand new charred oak barrel. The inspiration for the name of this traditionally southern spirit is still debated: it was either inspired by Bourbon County, Kentucky or Bourbon Street in New Orleans. This is what makes whiskey, “bourbon”.
