Corn-forward American whiskey with vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. Its natural sweetness makes it the friendliest whiskey to mix.

The story
Origin and evolution
American distillers turned surplus corn into whiskey, and new charred oak barrels defined its flavor.
Federal standards fixed the mash bill and aging rules that make bourbon distinct.
The Old Fashioned and Whiskey Sour keep bourbon at the center of the classic repertoire.
