Hey guys, I haven't been about much lately but I got stumped by someone the
other day and as ever this is my first port of call. I was allways under the
impression that if an American Whiskey contained 80% or more of corn in its
mash bill then it was a Corn Whisky rather than a Bourbon or Rye etc. The
national brand manager for a big Kentucky distillery said that if it conforms
to the other Bourbon regulations i.e aged for at least two years in virgin US
oak etc even if it's over 80% corn it's Bourbon and that quite a few Bourbons
on the market are over 80% corn! Well who am I to say differant but I'd be
interested if anyones got something to add, Jake??? Mr Regan????
