Best Flavored Whiskey

The world of whisk(e)y is wide – it is distilled in over 20 countries including Scotland, Japan, Ireland, United Sates, Canada, Taiwan, Sweden and India. There are a seemingly infinite number of different types of whiskies and whiskeys throughout the world, but there is one unifying trait: they are all distilled from any number of grains including barley, corn, rye, and wheat, and generally aged in wooden casks. The type of whiskey or whisky is determined by the grain used in the distillation process, and the country of origin. Scotland, India and Japan leave out the “e” in whisky, while countries like Ireland and the United States spell it with the “e.”

Different grains deliver different flavors. Combine that with varying distillation methods by region and producer, and you get a whole world of flavors from sweet to bold and spicy, smoky and smooth. Explore the incredible world of whisk(e)y here at Luxury Bourbon.

Bourbon Has to Hit Certain ABV Marks

When bourbon is barrelled, it also has to hit a certain proof, or alcohol content in the spirit. The mash must be distilled at 160 proof (or 80 percent alcohol by volume) or less, and aged in barrels until it is no more than 125 proof (62.5 percent alcohol by volume) or less. Before bottling, bourbon is filtered and diluted down to no less than 80 proof (40 percent alcohol by volume). Other whiskeys have different ABV standards for barreling and distilling. The minimum bottling strength for Scotch whiskey, for example, is also 80 proof or 40 percent ABV, but there is no maximum or minimum ABV for the distillate.
