Bourbon

Bourbon is a type of American whiskey that is made mostly from corn and aged in charred oak barrels. It has a smooth and slightly smoky flavor with hints of vanilla, caramel, and oak. Its versatility makes it a staple in cocktails and mixology, adding depth and complexity to drinks. Its rich and bold flavor profile pairs well with a variety of ingredients, making it a go-to for classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, and Whiskey Sour. Its popularity in mixology has also spurred the creation of newer, innovative cocktails that showcase its distinct taste and character.
