[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 152856, member: 341"] Bourbon must be all of the following: A sour mash whiskey ("sour" as in "sourdough," meaning they hold over a yeast culture from prior batches) Made with more thatn 50% corn in the mash Aged in new oak barrels for no less than 3 years Made in Bourbon Co., KY. Because it's such a narrow definition, the dirty secret is that most brands of bourbons are made by the same few companies. (For purposes of trade, other sour mash corn whiskeys like JD are tarriffed as bourbon. Al Gore Sr. is to thank for that confusion... or so complain some of my Kentuckian friends.) [/QUOTE]
