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.

  • Re Eve's Vacation, 2 days ago Shawn C commented:

    The cocktail itself is brilliant. I used my own pomegranate grenadine syrup (had some particularly dark and intense aryls for this batch) and a fresh lime off the tree. The pomegranate was a great pairing with the fig which can be a bit intense if not properly mated. The Strega provides some slight mint/alpine herbal and bolsters the anise in the Mahia. The bitters provide a slight chili heat to the finish.

  • Re Eve's Vacation, 2 days ago Shawn C commented:

    Curated to list Mahia by Nahmias et Fils as a brand and change ingredient above from "fig" to fig liqueur. Fig liqueur was already listed as an ingredient but with the same specs as a creme de figue (low proof, sweet.) I have modified the listing for fig liqueur to be 80 proof, only moderately sweet, and including some herbal.

  • Re Naked and Famous, 2 days ago mako commented:

    A new classic. I had a variation called Naked and Infamous (a common name) at Protocol in Amherst, MA that subbed Liquore Strega for Yellow Charteuse. Very good a nice option for these relatively Charteuse-starved times.

  • Re The Ticket that Exploded, 5 days ago drinkingandthinking commented:

    I saw the name and immediately knew who created it ;) wonderful smoky aroma but sweet and bitter on the tongue.

  • Re Bourbon Belle, 5 days ago brogie62 commented:

    Reduced bourbon to 2 oz and increased peach liquor to 0.75 as others have suggested.
    Also, altered to bitters to 2 dashes each of peach bitters and cardamom bitters. Might need a little more spice.
