Bourbon is the only American liquor.
There are rules and restrictions on the ingredients in Bourbon and how it is made.
Like a barrel must be made of oak and it can only be used Once. 50% must be corn.
While whiskey can be made in a dirty bathtub in Ireland.
And there are NO rules or regulation.
Just saying
Thanks everyone for your shared interest in whiskey...it is American and patriotic because it was a large part of our founding. Take a look at Lew Bryson’s book, it is astounding.........
