Kentucky

Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey is a type of American whiskey that is a barrel-aged distilled spirit made primarily from corn. The distinctive identity of Kentucky Bourbon is not just in its ingredients but also in its geographic origin and the methods used in its production.

Kentucky Bourbon must be aged in new, charred oak barrels. The charring of the barrels contributes to the bourbon's flavor, color, and aroma. The aging process in Kentucky's climate, with its hot summers and cold winters, plays a crucial role in the maturation of bourbon, as the whiskey expands into and contracts from the wood of the barrels, which helps to infuse it with distinct flavors.
