AMERICAN BOURBON Bourbon is an American whiskey which contains a minimum of 51 percent corn, and is aged in charred, new oak barrels. The mandate that bourbon rest in only new oak barrels is a key reason why used bourbon barrels end up aging Scotch, amongst other products. Contrary to a commonly held belief, bourbon does not need to be made in Kentucky, but can be produced anywhere in the United States. 1792 Single Barrel Bourbon (American) Whiskey Bourbon 98.6 proof Toffee and black pepper, with a kick of citrus oil developing. ...................................................................................................$15.00 Angels Envy KSBW Port Barrel Finish (American) Whiskey Bourbon 86.6 proof Nose is full of vanilla and NYC street-cart sugar-roasted nuts.
