Bourbon needs to be distilled at not more
than 160 prood or 80% abv. Once bottled, nothing needs to be added in order to
improve its sweetness, flavor or modify its color. Grains utilized to create
bourbon could either be malted barley, wheat or rye.
Amber is the usual color of bourbon. It
tastes relatively heavier and a tad sweeter, texture-wise, compared to most
whiskies.
According to the Jim Bean website, bourbon
is the "sweet spot" of whiskey. One reason for this is due to bourbon
being made from corn - a sweet grain. The more corn used, the whiskey produced
will be sweeter. Take note that it's more difficult to produce bourbon compared
to whiskey.
