| Bourbon is a type of whiskey in which more than half of the grain used is corn, and it is often treated as its own distinct alcohol. Bourbon is aged for at least two years in a white oak barrel to let it mature before being bottled. Usually, it is adjusted from its high alcohol content of around 160 proof down to between 80 and 100 proof before being sold, though some bourbon is sold at cask strength, in which case it remains at the proof it leaves the cask after aging, often as high as 120 proof. | |
