ABC’s Of Bourbon: F-Filled

We’re almost to the end and just like the last 2, the 6th standard dealswith proof again.  In order to be called a bourbon, the bottles must be “Filled” at no less than 80 proof(40%abv).  There are bourbons, however, that do have a higher proof than 80…that’s fine, it just can’t be lower.  Also, There are some bourbon based cordials out there having a slightly lower proof than 80, but don’t be fooled, those are not bourbon.  Check back soon for the last standard that makes a bourbon a bourbon(”No Additives”) and the wrap up to my ABC’s Of Bourbon series.

A – American Made

B – Barrels

C – Corn

D – Distilled

E – Entered

F – Filled
