Every bourbon is whiskey, but not every whiskey is bourbon. There are rules for bourbon to be called bourbon. It must be made in the United States The mash must be at least 51% corn It must be aged for at least two years in a new, charred, oak barrel The whiskey cannot enter the barrel higher than 125 proof Nothing can be added but water and only to lessen the proof when necessary In Fiasco, Kentucky, there’s one more rule that loosely relates to the bourbon that’s made there: Never fall for a Foxx brother.
