Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon whiskey is a US whiskey category defined by corn-led mash bills and maturation in new charred oak casks, typically bottled between 40–46% ABV or at cask strength. This range includes distillery bottlings and independent releases sourced from Kentucky and wider American production, commonly purchased for gifting, collecting, and bar use.
