I think it costs me a lot.
That sounds right
Bourbon is anywhere in America, and the recipes posted about 51% are correct. Some fun side notes. American whiskey is spelled differently than overseas, which is whisky.
It has to be aged 2 years but the better stuff is much longer. The amount lost in the cask to evaporation is the Angels Share, and the casks can’t be reused. But they often are for beer/wine/port.
It was the primary spirit of the Appalachian mountains because it was cheaper to transport by wagon than the same caloric value of raw dried corn, and the colonies mostly drank rum and hard apple cider.
It’s also typically distilled in a pot still with potentially a thumper, vs most white liquors being distilled in a continuous column still. That’s why it’s not as high proof as grain spirits like vodka (off the still).
It’s very delicious mixed with ginger ale and I’m having one now.

The only difference between whiskey and bourbon is a Friday or Saturday night, depending on the moon and beer.
