I live in bourbon country. I’ve learned that all bourbon starts with beer (and not a very tasty beer). They then distill from that to get the full alcohol level. Then it gets the rest of its taste from the barrel in which it is aged.

And yeah, to get that much alcohol in it it is no longer beer. You could say that all bourbon is just “distilled beer”.

Loved that Makers Mark tour. And you get free samples at the end including the clear moonshine version.

Bourbon must use at least 51% corn. Whiskey is distilled beer which uses malted barley.
