Bourbon
Bourbon is a type of American whiskey legally defined by its production process, requiring at least 51% corn in the grain mash and aging in new charred oak barrels. This distinctive aging method imparts characteristic vanilla and caramel notes while giving the spirit its amber color, with most premium varieties produced in Kentucky. As a distilled spirit, bourbon contains approximately 40-50% alcohol by volume and provides about 97 calories per 1.5oz serving, offering zero carbohydrates and being naturally gluten-free despite its grain base. It serves as both a sipping spirit and a foundational ingredient in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Mint Julep.
