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.

    I mashed up some fennel seeds with the fresh herbs. Not sure if I achieved much, but it was an interesting, green-tasting drink.

    Any more direction on the infusion?

  • Re Kentucky Strawberry Sour, 1 day ago Mixed up in Na… commented:

    It seemed a little weak. We added a 1/2 oz. of St. Germain, and it was better. Also, the soda water isn't doing much--except making the drink weak. We will make it again, keeping the St. Germain, skipping the seltzer, and doubling another strawberry.

  • Re The Dry Season, 2 days ago Jojiro commented:

    Made this with a hibiscus-infused tequila (20 grams dried flowers per 500 ml tequila), let sit one week. The vanilla from the Cocchi absolutely melds well with the florality of hibiscus. I know that wasn't the intention behind this drink, but as a variant, I highly recommend it.

    Went 3:2 gin:vermouth; really impressed with the outcome. Not usually an Old Tom Gin fan but it all comes together great here
