Nah, bourbon is second class whiskey from the US made with corn. Honestly I'd say bourbon isn't whiskey because if it is, then you could say that czech "Tuzemak" (meaning domestic or sth I think) could be called rum, even if it's made with potatoes.

A couple points of clarification - It must be made of AT LEAST 51% corn and most have 60-78% corn. Secondly, ONLY Bottled In Bond Bourbon has to be in the barrel for at least 4 years. The distillate can be passed through a new, charred white oak barrel on the way to the bottle and still be called bourbon. It will be crappy bourbon but it still can be called bourbon.

Bourbon can be aged any amount of time. To label it "Straight Bourbon" has to be aged for a minimum of two years. For it to be labeled "bottled in bond" it has to be aged minimum 4 years.

Couple of corrections. The law states that it has to be aged in an unused charred oak container. It doesnt specify white oak and it doesnt specify barrel. In addition, there is no minimum aging requirement. You can age it for 1 second if you wanted to. This is how PBR can get away with their "5 second aged" bourbon that is essentially moonshine. However, if it is aged LESS than 4 years, it must have an age statement on the label. And finally, it must not be bottled at less than 80 proof.

@@thousand_cuts yes and no. But before we get into that, that has nothing to do with your previous comment and therefore doesn't make your previous comment make sense all of a sudden. Anyways, about Mezcal, some dude a while back (a spirits writer named John McEvoy) said any agave spirit is Mezcal, but nowadays there are rules and regulations behind producing Mezcal so that doesn't apply very well anymore. A quick example is this: Tequila can be called Tequila if it's 51% or more blue agave and 49% or less added substances. Those tequilas are labeled 'Mixto', but are indeed tequilas. Mezcal requires the spirit to be 100% agave, no added substances allowed. This means all Mixto Tequila is not Mezcal. Second, an argument can be made that zero tequilas are mezcals because they are legally required to be produced and distilled differently. This is really where what you mentioned comes into play. 'Mezcal tastes different'. It goes beyond that. Because of the laws restricting the ways in which laws can be produced and distilled, it is impossible to make a tequila that tastes like a mezcal and vice versa. Similar to how a square is a rectangle, a tequila would be able to be made to taste like mezcal if tequila was mezcal, but it can't be made to taste like mezcal with the reason being it's not mezcal. What remains true of what that one dude once said a while ago is that tequila only uses Blue Agave, while Mezcal uses a variety of agave plants. Quick tie in. It's possible to make a whisky that tastes exactly like a Scotch whisky outside of Scotland, you just can't call it Scotch, but you can call it whisky. Key distinction in the 'Bourbon is a Whiskey while Tequila is not a Mezcal' debate.
Bourbon does not have to be aged for a minimum of 4 years to be considered Bourbon. 4 years is for bottled in bond. There is no age requirement to be considered Bourbon
Nor does it have to be made in the United States, though it can't be labelled as/called bourbon if it's made elsewhere even though it technically is bourbon
It also can be any oak, but white oak just happens to work best, so it’s used the most often. But you can use any type of oak and still call it bourbon
Actually there is no aging limit on bourbon. The rules say it has to be aged but do not specify a time, that's why we have the brands that call themselves "technically bourbon" that they age for a couple minutes.
Lmao right. Technically you could get a barrel without a tip or bottom, and pour unaged bourbon through one end and collect it as it drips out the other side and that would legally be bourbon. It’s just “aged” a few seconds.
@@heisenberg368 unless you wanna make a goofy product to sell. Sometimes a label wants to sell bottles more than they want to make a good quality tagged bourbon.
What i think he confused was the labelling of it as a straight borboun, which is a 2 year aged minimum. Kentucky straight, it must be aged for at least 2 but 1 of them in kentucky
Tiny observation of zero consequence: The question spells Whisky in the Scottish way (like so), while in the video you spell it the Irish way (Whiskey, with the e).
Yeah in the US we spell it 'whiskey' as well. I knew that the Scottish spell it as 'whisky' but wasn't aware that 'whiskey' was the irish way to spell it. Makes sense though. Way more Irish immigrants came to the US vs Scottish immigrants, so they would have had a bigger impact on language. Just a guess.
True bourbon is produced in Ky, hence why we are 95% of the worlds supply. The laws have changed to allow other manufacturers outside of Ky to label their products as "bourbon" but they generally lack our limestone water which is essential to most bourbon distilleries. I believe our atmosphere while aging in barrel houses also plays a factor into this process but technicalities such as these have been put to the wayside.
A Bourbon doesn't need to be aged for a minimum of 4 years though... A straight Bourbon has to be aged for a minimum of 2 years, and a Bottled in Bond Bourbon has to have a minimum age of 4. But just Bourbon itself only needs to be aged for any particular time you like. Thats why you can buy a white spirit Bourbon which is basically moonshine thats been in a barrel for a few seconds, and still call it Bourbon.
@@butterball6538 proof is a measuring system for the amount of alcohol in a drink. 100 proof is 50% ABV (Alcohol By Volume) you will see that most whiskies are around 40% alcohol or between the 40 and 50. This does really depend on what you buy and where you live. For example in Europe its often a far lower % of alcohol than in the US. but there is a minimum of 40% alcohol on most whiskies.
Spot on man used to work in a distillery Some people argue it has to be made with the limestone in the water like the water found in the creeks in the Appalachian mountains but not entirely true
Since I have a Kentucky native mother, I have always been told that while there are many bourbons made in the US, only real bourbon is made in Kentucky! And I'll state that till the day I die lol enjoy y'all's videos!
Such a good father son dynamic, dad's always willing to impart wisdom on his hobbies to answer even simple questions about it for his son who is glad to listen.
The 4 year age statement is for bonded bourbon. Distillate can be called bourbon if it passes through the barrel for a split second; so long as its a white oak chared barrel.

oes all bourbon come from Kentucky? Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States where it is legal to distill spirits, but most brands are produced in Kentucky, where bourbon production has a strong historical association. ... As of 2018, approximately 95% of all bourbon is produced in Kentucky, according to the Kentucky Distillers' Association. en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki
It doesn’t have to be 51% corn. It just has to be at least 51% corn. It can be anywhere from 51-100% corn in the mash bill. A typical mash bill for Bourbon is usually 70% corn, 15% rye, and 15% wheat or barley.
Also, there is no minimum age on Bourbon. But must be min 2 years for "Straigt Bourbon" and anything less than 4 years has to have the age displayed on the bottle. But some Bourbon is sold at only a few months old.
@@irritablechef well that’s disputed. There’s theories that it’s called bourbon cause it was popular on bourbon street in New Orleans. But also, could’ve been because it was marketed as “Bourbon County whiskey”, as in, whiskey from Bourbon County, KY. No one seems to know for sure.
Bourbon has to be made in Bourbon, Kentucky, like Jim Beam. Jack Daniels is classed as a Sour Mash as it is made in Tennessee. Both are made in the USA but only one is a Bourbon.
I'm not from the us and I've heard this first time. It's so weird and wrong that if I would make the whyskey in the same kind of barrel in the precise temperature, that it wouldn't be named bourbon just because it's made in europe 😃 E.g. It sounds like if an american would be born in europe he wouldn't be mexican. It's fucked.
You guys don't know anything. Do your research. Sparkling wine made in USA or anywhere else is likewise not called Champagne, unless its made in the Champagne region of France. 🤦♂️😂
Da’ F¥€k does champagne have to do with Bourbon?? It only takes a quick google search to find the legal requirements for what can be called “Bourbon” and being made in Bourbon KY isn’t one of them.
I was born and raised in Kentucky, theres a little debate where bourbon actually originated however the general consensus is that it was first produced in Scott county, which is right next to Bourbon county more or less.

I love how americans always think their names are from the us. "Hence the name bourbon" oh yeah as if the name bourbon hasnt been relevant in europe since before the us was a country.
Lol who said he thought that? Bourbon County is a literal place in the United States... that's what Bourbon would be in reference too. Why is it that everybody around the world has to dumb themselves down just to make fun of Americans?

It doesn’t have to be aged for four years, simply aged in new oak charred barrels. Straight bourbon refers to a bourbon aged for at least two years.

To be called “straight bourbon” it has to
Be at least 2yrs with an age statement or if no age statement min 4 yrs. bottle
In bond has more requirements

Similar to how a square is a rectangle, a tequila would be able to be made to taste like mezcal if tequila was mezcal, but it can't be made to taste like mezcal with the reason being it's not mezcal.
What remains true of what that one dude once said a while ago is that tequila only uses Blue Agave, while Mezcal uses a variety of agave plants.
Quick tie in. It's possible to make a whisky that tastes exactly like a Scotch whisky outside of Scotland, you just can't call it Scotch, but you can call it whisky. Key distinction in the 'Bourbon is a Whiskey while Tequila is not a Mezcal' debate.
Bourbon does not have to be aged for a minimum of 4 years to be considered Bourbon. 4 years is for bottled in bond. There is no age requirement to be considered Bourbon
It needs 2 years of aging to be considered bourbon
@@akivaspielman6838 it's need 2 years to be considered straight bourbon. But to be labeled as bourbon there is no aged requirement
Nor does it have to be made in the United States, though it can't be labelled as/called bourbon if it's made elsewhere even though it technically is bourbon
4 years is for “straight bourbon.” Technically, bourbon just needs to touch oak even if it’s just for a couple seconds.
That's not true
That's 100% true
It also has to be virgin American oak barrels. And at least 51%. Not exactly 51%
Spitting facts in this thread!
It also can be any oak, but white oak just happens to work best, so it’s used the most often. But you can use any type of oak and still call it bourbon
Hes re-applying the seal before removing it… genuine…
This guy would act surprised by the question but happen to have a box of corn at the table.
Actually there is no aging limit on bourbon. The rules say it has to be aged but do not specify a time, that's why we have the brands that call themselves "technically bourbon" that they age for a couple minutes.
Lmao right. Technically you could get a barrel without a tip or bottom, and pour unaged bourbon through one end and collect it as it drips out the other side and that would legally be bourbon. It’s just “aged” a few seconds.
@@Cesarissatan yea its a could and a should scenario
@@heisenberg368 there are more than a few "technically bourbon" white dogs for sale
@@heisenberg368 unless you wanna make a goofy product to sell. Sometimes a label wants to sell bottles more than they want to make a good quality tagged bourbon.
What i think he confused was the labelling of it as a straight borboun, which is a 2 year aged minimum. Kentucky straight, it must be aged for at least 2 but 1 of them in kentucky
Tiny observation of zero consequence: The question spells Whisky in the Scottish way (like so), while in the video you spell it the Irish way (Whiskey, with the e).
Didn’t know that. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge :)
Maybe they're referring to US made only.
It does actually, as Scottish whisky has much higher requirements than bourbon. Bourbon is not a good whisky
Yeah in the US we spell it 'whiskey' as well. I knew that the Scottish spell it as 'whisky' but wasn't aware that 'whiskey' was the irish way to spell it. Makes sense though. Way more Irish immigrants came to the US vs Scottish immigrants, so they would have had a bigger impact on language. Just a guess.
If the country has an “e” in the name they spell it whiskey if they don’t they spell it whisky for example Scotland and Japan
Actually useful information in a short. Thanks.
Wow. You guys are pleasure to watch and learn.
I do not even drink at all but this man sure is interesting Love it! 👍🏼
cheers!
@@JohnnyDrinks I sure could watch for hours i appreciate the content
Like I said ,cool dad , cool son 😎 👌
Appreciate it!
I love these shorts.
True bourbon is produced in Ky, hence why we are 95% of the worlds supply. The laws have changed to allow other manufacturers outside of Ky to label their products as "bourbon" but they generally lack our limestone water which is essential to most bourbon distilleries. I believe our atmosphere while aging in barrel houses also plays a factor into this process but technicalities such as these have been put to the wayside.
A Bourbon doesn't need to be aged for a minimum of 4 years though...
A straight Bourbon has to be aged for a minimum of 2 years, and a Bottled in Bond Bourbon has to have a minimum age of 4. But just Bourbon itself only needs to be aged for any particular time you like.
Thats why you can buy a white spirit Bourbon which is basically moonshine thats been in a barrel for a few seconds, and still call it Bourbon.
Came here for this comment. Additionally, bonded bourbon is required to be bottled at 100 proof per federal government regulation.
@@Plinian what’s a proof?
Must be aged minimum 4 years
@@butterball6538 double the alcohol percentage so how strong it is
@@butterball6538 proof is a measuring system for the amount of alcohol in a drink. 100 proof is 50% ABV (Alcohol By Volume) you will see that most whiskies are around 40% alcohol or between the 40 and 50. This does really depend on what you buy and where you live. For example in Europe its often a far lower % of alcohol than in the US. but there is a minimum of 40% alcohol on most whiskies.
Love the videos man👏🏻👏🏻 your old man is a class act 👍🏻
much appreciated Tom!
No bourbon can be a whiskey. Whiskey is the one with legacy.
Spot on man used to work in a distillery
Some people argue it has to be made with the limestone in the water like the water found in the creeks in the Appalachian mountains but not entirely true
Since I have a Kentucky native mother, I have always been told that while there are many bourbons made in the US, only real bourbon is made in Kentucky! And I'll state that till the day I die lol enjoy y'all's videos!
True because of our fresh lime stone water.
Yes sir! The non Kentucky bourbon can't compare
Bourbon must be made in Kentucky.
@@johncox2552 nope. Kentucky straight bourbon has to be made in Kentucky. Standard bourbon can be made anywhere in the country.
I completely agree.
Such a good father son dynamic, dad's always willing to impart wisdom on his hobbies to answer even simple questions about it for his son who is glad to listen.
Lmao you can this wisdom 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or they just want to get likes on the internet...
There just out fishing.... so yeah! I guess your right
@@jasonshink6589 Yeah, but... I'm not in that bond with my father. Wish we had similar hobbies
The 4 year age statement is for bonded bourbon. Distillate can be called bourbon if it passes through the barrel for a split second; so long as its a white oak chared barrel.
Doesn't have to be white oak. Can be any unused charred oak barrels.
Says first phrase, pours whisky/bourbon, (nice pause) and then answers question... Real Kool. Love the content guys.
I'm still sticking with "if it isn't a single malt, it isn't whisky".
Yeah as soon as he said 51% corn mash i was like "this is all wrong..."
I feel the same way about birds. If it isn’t an American Robin, it isn’t a bird.
"Bourbon is a whiskey, but not all whiskey is a bourbon."
"A brougue is an Oxford, but not all Oxfords are brougues."
Idk I just remembered this
@Allison Hooper A shoe
@Allison Hooper It's any open laced dress shoe. Brougueing is just the name for the stylistic holes you might find on the toe of the shoe, typically on Oxfords (a style choice, not an actual type of shoe).
@@Laranthalas wait what Oxford is a brand or what? i don’t get it
is it like another country thing? it sounds British …… ew heh
nn leav me be i jus cannot stand British accents, it’s jus Everythingshire everywher, it’s a fuckn monarchy in 2021, and did i mention the accents? fukk i hate the accents IM SO UPSET CAUSE I WANT TO WATCH THINGS LIKE HOW TO COOK THAT WITH ANN REARDON BUT SHE’S SO FUCKN BRITISH AND I CANT LISTEN TO IT AND IT IS A REAL PROBLEM LOWKEY I HATE WATCHING THEM ON MUTE W SUBTITLES PLEAS I JUS WANT THE ACCENTS TO GO AWAYYYYYYYY
oh wait what were we talkn bout? Oxford shoe brand?
@@elissalesse8320 Oxford is the style of shoe. It's any brand, any shoemaker. It's just means that the shoe has laces on the outside of the shoe, as opposed to something like a monkstrap shoe that has straps with buckles that keep the shoe tight on your foot.
Like watching you guy videos informative
Bro your dad is so cool I'm glad I found your videos. My dad just passed away a few months ago. Drink one for him 🍾🍷🍸🍹🍺
Bourbon is only made in Kentucky, not USA. It's made with water filtered through Kentucky's lime stone deposit.
oes all bourbon come from Kentucky?
Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States where it is legal to distill spirits, but most brands are produced in Kentucky, where bourbon production has a strong historical association. ... As of 2018, approximately 95% of all bourbon is produced in Kentucky, according to the Kentucky Distillers' Association.
en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki
@@thomasschneller7081 I'm gonna have to go edit that wikipedia page lol
It doesn’t have to be 51% corn. It just has to be at least 51% corn. It can be anywhere from 51-100% corn in the mash bill. A typical mash bill for Bourbon is usually 70% corn, 15% rye, and 15% wheat or barley.
Also, there is no minimum age on Bourbon. But must be min 2 years for "Straigt Bourbon" and anything less than 4 years has to have the age displayed on the bottle. But some Bourbon is sold at only a few months old.
Also the name Bourbon isn't actually from Bourbon County...
@@irritablechef well that’s disputed. There’s theories that it’s called bourbon cause it was popular on bourbon street in New Orleans. But also, could’ve been because it was marketed as “Bourbon County whiskey”, as in, whiskey from Bourbon County, KY. No one seems to know for sure.
Isn't it because they use sugar cane syrup.
@@shahidulkhan9566 no.
Bro your dad has so much class! Shout out to him!!

I like Kentucky, alot of people here have cojones
@@greenjoe4202 you know what time it is 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
Bourbon has to be made in Bourbon, Kentucky, like Jim Beam. Jack Daniels is classed as a Sour Mash as it is made in Tennessee. Both are made in the USA but only one is a Bourbon.
Bourbon does not have to be made in Kentucky to be considered Bourbon…
I'm not from the us and I've heard this first time. It's so weird and wrong that if I would make the whyskey in the same kind of barrel in the precise temperature, that it wouldn't be named bourbon just because it's made in europe 😃
E.g. It sounds like if an american would be born in europe he wouldn't be mexican. It's fucked.
Except Jim beam got bought out by Suntori whiskey, so technically it's Japanese and can no longer be classified as Bourbon.
You guys don't know anything. Do your research. Sparkling wine made in USA or anywhere else is likewise not called Champagne, unless its made in the Champagne region of France. 🤦♂️😂
Da’ F¥€k does champagne have to do with Bourbon??
It only takes a quick google search to find the legal requirements for what can be called “Bourbon” and being made in Bourbon KY isn’t one of them.
This guy reminds me of Jeff Goldblum. Great explanation 👌
Great consolidation of the rules. 🥃
If it ain’t from Kentucky, it ain’t Bourbon baby!!
I don’t think bourbon has an aging minimum unless it’s bottled-in-bond
You are correct, no age requirement. Two year requirement to be called straight bourbon. Four years for bonded (which has additional requirements)
I learned this at the rehearsal dinner for my best friend's wedding, funnily enough. Hope all those folks are doing well!
I was born and raised in Kentucky, theres a little debate where bourbon actually originated however the general consensus is that it was first produced in Scott county, which is right next to Bourbon county more or less.
The elegance of this man's drinking manner is the greatest bald head I've ever seen.
Every time he says "Hey Dad," I remember that I have never nor will ever be able to say those words
I came to CZcams to laugh not to cry 😭😭😭
👌 quick lesson as always 🙌
As a proud Kentuckian one thing we are taught is that if it isn’t distilled in the state of Kentucky then it’s not bourbon.
I love how we try to make drinking poison look and sound sophisticated
Well it's more sophisticated gasoline, ephedrine , and who knows what! mixed in a piss stained faygo 2liter bottle they found last Tuesday on the side of the interstate then for 50miles shaken in a rusted out Dodge Dakota barreling down a country road with the back window busted out resulting from them half assed ripping out all the copper wiring out of some poor fucker 'work a day citizen' just renovated home in an afternoon for gas money to get Robitussin to make MORE dumbass drugs for stupid idiots that should have been eaten at birth ! I think I'll take the FERMENTENT CORN SUGAR CONDENSATION CODY!
Exactly. Bet a lot of these guys believe in Reefer Madness propaganda, too.
Everyone else talking about their knowledge about bourbon.
Me: "Why is he putting the tab back on and then removed it completely when his son started recording?" 🤔
Bad timing
Gotta love that he's sealing a bottle that's open just to make it loon unopened
I actually work for a company that makes the boards (staves) that are made into barrels for bourbon and whiskeys and some wines
Does the video really start with him putting the sticker back on just to pretend he's opening it for the first time?!? 😂
Well, it's longer than my explanation: bourbon is the type of whisky that isn't shit.
I love this man.
The passion y’all have for alcohol is the same passion I have for cannabis 😂😂💯💯
Bourbon has to be made in Kentucky in my book. Scotch is from Scotland, bourbon is from Kentucky. Any bourbon not from Kentucky isn't worth buying.
I mean there’s some decent Texas bourbons…
I love how americans always think their names are from the us. "Hence the name bourbon" oh yeah as if the name bourbon hasnt been relevant in europe since before the us was a country.
Lol who said he thought that? Bourbon County is a literal place in the United States... that's what Bourbon would be in reference too. Why is it that everybody around the world has to dumb themselves down just to make fun of Americans?
@@anthonyhutchins2300 I think it's the same with champagne.. unless it's from Champagne France than it isn't actually champagne.
I think that's just your cynical perspective, Lord Miraak. 🤷
It takes a bourbon to qualify a bourbon humanity still needs edification.
My dad was an alcoholic but he was a very smart man just goes to show you how powerful alcohol can take someone’s soul without them knowing it. Alcohol needs to be consumed responsibly. Unfortunately the government is SET on putting up as many liquor stores on every corner as possible in low income neighborhoods. They want the lower class to fail it’s Sick.
