Bourbon

Some Jim Beam never did anybody any harm.



Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex (or same sex if you prefer). Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic.
You have been warned…

End of story.

SoCo is not actually a bourbon since it's not from Kentucky.

actually it is not a bourben cause it is a whisky blend,  just like jack isnt a bourbon casue its a sour mash.  you can make a bourbon elsewhere just deopends on what grains you are distilling to make a bourbin ( mostly corn )  where as rye whiskey uses rye, Scothc and irish use barley ( the diference is irish is filterd and scotch isnt.  all whiskeys are actually clear when distilled the get their color from the barrels as they are aged

On 4 May 1964, the U.S. Congress recognized Bourbon Whiskey as a “distinctive product of the United States," creating the Federal Standards of Identity for Bourbon. Federal regulations now stipulate that Bourbon must meet these requirements:

• Bourbon must be made of a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.[1]
• Bourbon must be distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume).
• Bourbon must be 100% natural (nothing other than water added to the mixture).
• Bourbon must be aged in new, charred oak barrels.[1]
• Bourbon which meets the above requirements and has been aged for a minimum of two years, may (but is not required to) be called Straight Bourbon.[2]
• Bourbon aged for a period less than four years must be labelled with the duration of its aging.

In practice, almost all bourbons marketed today are made from more than two-thirds corn, have been aged at least four years, and do qualify as "straight bourbon"—with or without the "straight bourbon" label. The exceptions are inexpensive commodity brands of bourbon aged only three years and pre-mixed cocktails made with bourbon aged the minimum two

it was named for bourbon county kentucky, but unlike say champaigne  or socth, is not require to be from that reigion. 

and to clearify Jack Daniels,  its sour mash is les then 51 % corn

Well thank you Worf, you just helped me with my studying today =P
