Bourbon

Bourbon is a type of American whiskey named after the Bourbon County region, historically linked to Kentucky. It is typically made from a grain mix with at least 51% corn, aged in charred oak barrels, and characterized by a rich, caramel sweetness with vanilla and spice notes. The term also denotes a style or brand associated with that whiskey, and, in broader use, a color or drink-related item tied to Kentucky heritage.
