Bourbon

Bourbon refers to whiskey made in the United States, with the vast majority of its rarest bottles produced in Kentucky. The rules governing its production are strictly defined, with distilleries such as Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark and Buffalo Trace continuing to innovate within these guidelines. Made primarily from corn and aged in new charred oak barrels, bourbon is celebrated for its rich sweetness and deep American heritage. Classifications range from Straight bourbon to Bottled-in-Bond, with collectors often seeking pre-Prohibition bottles for their unique reflection of American history and culture.
