AMERICAN

American whiskey is a popular spirit made from a fermented mash of cereal grains, such as corn, rye, barley, and wheat. It is distilled and aged in charred oak barrels, giving it a unique flavor profile. The most common types of American whiskey include bourbon, rye, and Tennessee whiskey. Bourbon, made primarily from corn, must be aged for at least two years and can only be produced in the United States. Rye, made primarily from rye grain, has a spicier flavor than bourbon. Tennessee whiskey, such as Jack Daniel's, is a type of bourbon that is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before aging. American whiskey is often enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but can also be used in a variety of cocktails.
