Bourbon Essence

Bourbon

For a traditional spirit to be called “Bourbon” it has to meet these requirements

• Must be made in the United States (any state, not just Kentucky)
• Must be made of at least 51% corn
• Must be distilled at no higher than 160 proof
• Must be barreled at no higher than 125 proof
• Must be put in a new, charred oak container (not necessarily a barrel

However we can make our version of “Bourbon” at home by using 40% neutral filtered spirit, essences and oak.

Any style you can buy in a botte shop, you can perfect at home.
