Bourbon Whiskey

Bourbon is the soul of American whiskey – a spirit with unmistakable character, crafted mainly in Kentucky. By law, it must contain at least 51% corn, be distilled to no more than 80% ABV, and aged in new charred oak barrels. These rules give bourbon its signature amber colour and rich, sweet notes of vanilla and caramel.

Character and flavour

Bourbon whiskey stands out with its full, warm, and gently spicy profile, featuring tones of vanilla, honey, caramel, and toasted oak. It’s less smoky than Scotch whisky, yet richer and creamier. Enjoy it neat, with a drop of water, or on the rocks – and it’s also the foundation of legendary cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Mint Julep.

Craft and tradition

Every bourbon carries the signature of its region, water, and distillation method. While some age only a few years, premium bourbons rest in barrels for decades, gaining depth and sophistication. That’s why bourbon is a true symbol of American craftsmanship, tradition, and patience.

If you enjoy sweeter and smoother flavours, explore Tennessee whiskey, filtered through charcoal for extra smoothness, or rye whiskey, bourbon’s spicier, drier sibling.
