Big boots, big hats,
big highways.
America, the bigger the better. The home
of bourbon.
Bourbon has to be produced in the United
States just like scotch has to be
produced in Scotland.
They're both whiskey, but both are super
unique that they have to be produced in
their own place. Bourbon has to be
produced with at least 51% corn. That's
crazy unique.
Scotch and Irish whiskey have almost
never corn in it. Another big
difference, bourbon has to be aged in
new charred oak containers. You'll never
find a bourbon under 40% alcohol or over
80%. So, this is bourbon. Not a lot of
ingredients. You can't add coloring. You
can't add syrup to it. You have to stick
to the rules. It's America. Let's stop
getting technical and start tasting.
When you drink a bourbon,
it's loud. It's powerful.
It takes you in a place right away from
0 to 60 like Porsche versus Scotch on
the other hand. Soft, smooth, elegant,
completely different. But don't look at
bourbon drinkers as the I don't know
blue color of drinkers. I love bourbon.
I love my bourbon. So guys, you know the
rule. The more we taste, the more we
know.
