Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't

This is the third in a series on Bourbon by Zach Pearson. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

Defining bourbon is complicated. It’s easiest to quote the relevant laws then talk about them, so let’s go to the official record, the Federal Standards of Identity for Whiskey, CFR 27 5.22 (b). Skip down if you don't care to wade through the laws.

(b) Class 2; whiskey. “Whiskey” is an alcoholic distillate from a fermented mash of grain produced at less than 190° proof in such manner that the distillate possesses the taste, aroma, and characteristics generally attributed to whiskey, stored in oak containers (except that corn whiskey need not be so stored), and bottled at not less than 80° proof, and also includes mixtures of such distillates for which no specific standards of identity are prescribed.

    Really quite lovely. Blueberries and lemon are perfect, and the elderflower really sinks right into the drink in a lovely way

  • Re Smoke, Nearby, 7 hours 20 minutes ago Shawn C commented:

    It should be "each" but "brandied cherry" in the KC ingredients list had default units of oz. (The recipe says to put cherry on the bottom, and if the syrup was required it should be clearly stated and can be listed as "cherry syrup".) I have corrected the recipe, and updated the KC brandied cherry ingredient default unit to "each".
