Bourbon
Several have correctly reported the technical requirements for a spirit to be labeled a “Bourbon”. Numerous other spirits—Scotch, Irish, Canadian, Rye, and “American” spirits are all whiskey that differers from the requirements to be titled Bourbon. Plus Bourbon is itself a Whiskey!
Despite the proliferation of spirits now produced “throughout the US and labeled Bourbon, most would argue that Bourbon must be distilled in Kentucky. Even the two largest Tennessee spirits (Jack Daniels and Evan Williams) are not labeled or represented as Bourbons but as Tennessee Whiskey
Not surprisingly all bourbons will have a slightly different taste. The formula for the grain that make the mash, the mineral content of the water used in the brewing process, the age, where the barrel is racked in the aging shed, the weather during the aging, and on and on contribute.
Enjoy them all!
