Bourbon Whiskey – The American Way of Corn!
Jim Beam, Jack Daniel’s, Wild Turkey, and Elijah Craig: the list of bourbon whiskey brands is long and distinguished. Every reputable spirits shop carries the most popular bourbons at their bar. And any beverage service that wants to excel offers exceptional whiskey for the most discerning connoisseurs. Ordering bourbon whiskey at the bar is not just about taste; it's also about image. Why is that? One name: Jack Daniel’s. Numerous rock 'n' roll bands like Guns 'n' Roses, Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith have been photographed with a bottle of bourbon whiskey in hand, significantly contributing to the rock lifestyle image of the affectionately named "Jackie." This is not only why it’s a top seller but also because you can buy this whiskey at an affordable price.
But what makes this alcoholic beverage so special? And where does the sweet taste come from? First of all, this drink is typically American, unlike malt whisky, which is made in Scotland and Ireland. The name "Bourbon" comes from Bourbon County in Kentucky, named after the French royal family, the Bourbons. This was originally the main production area of the whiskey. Additionally, the so-called "water of life" is characterized by its high corn content. This is at least 51%, making it predominant in the grain mixture. The corn content varies in different bourbon whiskey types and reaches a maximum of 80% in strong corn whiskey. Moreover, a minimum aging period of two years is legally required, which takes place in charred new white oak barrels.
The barrels must be fresh and unused, which also significantly contributes to the taste of bourbon whiskey. Today, you can buy various types of bourbon whiskey. These include Straight Bourbon, a pure distillate from a grain mixture with at least 51% corn. Blended Bourbon, where different bourbon and straight bourbon whiskey brands are mixed. Additionally, Blended Straight Bourbon, which exclusively blends straight bourbons. Tennessee whiskey, which includes the famous Jack Daniel’s, comes from Tennessee and has at least 20% rye content in addition to corn, making it particularly mild. You can also buy the now somewhat rarer Rye Whiskey in our online spirits shop, where the grain mixture contains at least 51% rye. Be convinced by the variety in our whisky shop and enjoy bourbon whiskey according to your taste. By the way, our beverage delivery service brings your favorites right to your home.
