SOME FACTS ABOUT BOURBON WHISKY

Bourbon whiskey has its origins deeply rooted in the United States, specifically in the state of Kentucky, although it can be produced anywhere in the U.S. The name “bourbon” is likely derived from Bourbon County, Kentucky.

By U.S. law, bourbon whiskey is defined under several strict guidelines as per the Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits. Some of the key federally mandated requirements are:

1. It must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.

2. It must be distilled to no more than 160 proof (80% alcohol by volume).

3. It must be aged in new, charred oak barrels.

4. It must enter the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume).

5. It must be bottled at a minimum of 80 proof (40% alcohol by volume).

6. No coloring or flavoring may be added.

These regulations ensure that bourbon maintains its distinctive character and quality.

A defining characteristic of bourbon is its mash bill, which must contain at least 51% corn. This high corn content contributes to bourbon’s signature sweetness compared to other types of whiskey that might use more rye or barley. Corn gives it a full-bodied flavor profile with notes of caramel and vanilla, and also a richer, more buttery texture.

The distillation process for bourbon whiskey involves converting the grain mash to a clear, high-proof distillate, which is then aged in charred oak barrels. The barrels are crucial to bourbon’s flavor development. Charring the inside of the barrels caramelizes the wood sugars, which then interact with the whiskey over time, imparting flavors and the distinctive amber color.

The aging process is pivotal and legally requires no minimum duration, but to be labeled as “straight bourbon,” it must be aged for at least two years. Most premium bourbons are aged from four years upwards to develop deeper, more complex flavors.

Although bourbon can be made anywhere in the United States, approximately 95% of the world’s bourbon whiskey comes from Kentucky. The state’s unique combination of climate, water quality, and soil conditions creates a perfect environment for producing high-quality bourbon.

Kentucky’s seasonal temperature variations, with hot summers and cold winters, cause the whiskey to expand and contract in the barrels. This movement allows the whiskey to interact more with the barrel wood, absorbing more flavors, and accelerating the aging process.

The history of bourbon is intertwined with American history. It gained prominence in the late 18th century when settlers began farming corn and other grains and distilling them into whiskey. Notably, Elijah Craig, a Baptist minister, is often credited with pioneering the use of charred oak barrels.

During Prohibition (1920-1933), bourbon production and sales were severely restricted, yet some distilleries were allowed to operate for medicinal purposes. After the repeal of Prohibition, bourbon made a strong comeback.
