Best Kentucky Bourbon

The best Kentucky bourbon is, of course, from Kentucky-based distilleries, such as Maker’s Mark and Buffalo Trace. While the main flavour is bourbon and corn, you can also find vanilla, caramel, spice and oak.

To truly enhance the flavours, we recommend a tangy cheese appetiser with pulled pork for your main course. If you have a sweet tooth, anything crafted from chocolates makes for a rich experience. Discover the best Kentucky bourbon from our collection.

What types of whiskey are made in Kentucky?

Kentucky is known for producing two main types of whiskey, which are bourbon and rye. Bourbon is made from at least 51% corn, while rye whiskey is made from at least 51% rye grain. Kentucky’s rich soil is perfect for growing corn, making it the ideal place for bourbon production. The state plays a leading role in American whiskey making.

What does Kentucky whiskey taste like?

Kentucky whiskey or bourbon’s flavour profile can vary depending on the grains used and how long it's aged. Common flavour notes include vanilla, oak, cinnamon and caramel. Kentucky's limestone water, which is naturally filtered and full of minerals, is thought by some to contribute to the taste of their great bourbon.

What cocktails can I make with Kentucky whiskey?

You can make classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and Manhattan with Kentucky whiskey. A Whiskey Sour is another popular choice, mixing whiskey with lemon juice and a sweet syrup. For something refreshing, try a Kentucky Mule with ginger beer and lime. Kentucky whisky also works great in a Mint Julep, mixing bourbon, sugar, water, crushed ice and fresh mint. This cocktail is perfect for a hot summer day.
