That's like saying do you like Catholicism or do you like Christianity. Bourbon is a whiskey. Are you trying to say do you like bourbon or do you like all other whiskey?
Which do I prefer? Bourbon or whiskey? Well, Bourbon is a type of whiskey. There are a number of types, and types within types. Irish Whiskey is a type, but within that type are Irish Pot Still, Irish Single Malt, Irish Single Grain and Blended whiskeys. Scotch also has Single Malts, Single Grains and Blendeds. Each has its own requirements.
Actually, bourbon is a type of whiskey. Unfortunately, the video is poorly made. I’ve worked in a whiskey tasting room for 5 years with updated education every year and this video made me cringe
@@joshuayeager3686hat’s actually refreshing to hear because I knew something was wrong with this video. I searched it up out of curiosity I’m just wondering. If you don’t mind me asking friend What’s the difference between bourbon whiskey and whiskey?
Bourbon is a type of whiskey!! Hello? Anyone there? It's made with mostly corn ( 51% or more ) vs malted barley. I haven't even watched your video. There is no mystery behind bourbon.
Bourbon is whiskey. There is no difference. Bourbon is whiskey made with specific criteria. Scotch is also whiskey. It just must be made in Scotland. There are some nuances but treating like it is different from whiskey is annoying. Whiskey is what you get when you ferment a grain, then distill it. Whiskey broad type with subclasses like Bourbon.
Bourbon is one of the few "protected" terms in the US. If the whiskey isn't made in Kentucky, it isn't bourbon. Try to call it bourbon when it's made outside Kentucky, and the law will likely find you.
@@maxpowr90 wrong the video had this correct. Bourbon must be made in the usa state doesnt matter, along with a few other criteria. But Bourbon is a whiskey with a few requirements. It is like comparing a pilsner with beer. A pilsner is a beer but a beer is not necessarily a pilsner.
@@maxpowr90 Bourbon can be made anywhere in the United States by federal law. There is Texas Bourbon, there is New York Bourbon and there is Arkansas Bourbon.
The only difference with Scotch, is that the real thing, made in Scotland, is that no others are allowed to be spelled "whisky", so that's how you know you're getting the real deal. That said, Japan is now producing excellent, world class Scotch... As long as you're not a purist, and can get past the spelling.
"We finally know the difference between a Ford and an automobile". Now here's a video explaining what a Ford is. Bourbon, Scotch, , etc are all types of whiskey. Saying bourbon is different from whiskey mind numbingly stupid.
For all the people that seem confused by the poster’s question: She just said bourbon is aged in brand new, never-used-before oak barrels, whereas whiskey does not follow this guideline..
About Scotch she said "Earthy flavors like leather or wood". If you like to chew on shoes or old saddles and don't mind chewing on a thin tree branch to hold you over until supper time then you are that person that gets to tell Scotch drinkers what it really is that they are tasting.
Makers Mark is what I bought last Christmas and I made Kentucky Butter cake for years and for the first time I found the recipe for Bourbon Kentucky Butter cake and I see why the recipe’s with Bourbon cause they Both come from Kentucky thanks for this video. Btw this kinda bourbon 🥃 taste great alone
Bourbon is simply a cheap version of the Scotch whiskey. It’s a typical British wanna be made by USA but in cheap level. A fake whiskey some may call, but still has a reason of existence these day… Make some bourbon, then just poor all the cheap American bourbon down the drain, and then use the empty oak cask to make a proper Scotch single malt!
That's a bit of a stupid statement. It's like comparing lager and stout. Both are alcoholic drinks that don't claim to be like the other. They have completely different tastes and don't pretend to be like the other. Your toxic xenophobia is clearly so much more apparent than your whiskey knowledge.
The reason lots of people think Kentucky is because of jack Daniels TENNESSEE whiskey. Most Americans are not worldly enough to even know that champagne comes from a certain area, and those that are, don't confuse bourbon from being only from one place
My pompous, arrogant, ignorant, argumentative brother-in-law thinks bourbon is only made south of Tennessee. Obviously he has seen too many Jack Daniels commercials. He is one of the guys who likes pecan flavored whiskeys.
All bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon. Many types of whiskey Single Malt, Blended Scotch, Irish and Rye, as well as bourbon. The video is misleading.
So, the video title and the opening statement declares that bourbon is different than whiskey, yet @1:04 the narrator refers to bourbon as an American whiskey. Get your crap together, Mashed.
@@h7opolo Given that oak barrels have been used to hold various forms of alcohol for over 5 thousand years then chances are that you will be safe. Find something else to worry about.
@sav clearly you live without integrity since you fail to recognize the issue is the producer's willful deception of the consumer via omitting facts about the dangerous characteristics of the product. Go scam some more people and smoke another cigarette. you're blocked.
@@h7opolo Oak barrels were first used to hold alcohol by the Sumerians around 7,000 years ago. Do us all a favour and transfer your ignorance to some other thread.
@@sav7568 So Scotland can never make Bourbon and USA can never make Scotch even if they follow the same methods and procedures? Or is this just a nationality pride thing?
@@NeonKue Correct. Oddly enough, you could distill whisky in each country to two identical formulas but one would be bourbon and the other would be scotch. You could go further and export American grain to the scotch distiller, then export Scottish grain to the bourbon distiller and nothing would change. The place of distillation is the operative event in both countries.
OMG... you only JUST discovered the difference. CLEARLY you are not a Whiskey/Whisky drinker then! I didn’t even bother to watch the video but HAD to comment on such a RIDICULOUS title. Hard to believe people will publicly admit their ignorance in a subject that they felt the need to make a video on. In case you STILL haven’t learned... Bourbon is Whiskey, Canadian Rye is Whisky, Scotch is Whisky, Irish Whiskey is Whisky... (Only U.S and Ireland spell Whiskey with an “E” with SOME exceptions), etc, etc. Simply put... Whisky/Whiskey is a GRAIN based alcohol aged in an oak Barrel. The recipe of WHICH grains, age, type of Barrel, and location of production determine the TYPE of Whisky/Whiskey. Sheeesh!
Dude, I'll admit ignorance. I am of Canadian decent, and grew up with European and Canadian versions... And on top of that, it's not my favorite drink. The world doesn't revolve around the midwest-southern US. So maybe you can find it in your heart to forgive the rest of the world our ignorance, and frankly we don't care, about what you do. You seem to have the reputation to be be mean spirited, ignorant racists, more often than not. Easily perceived by your angry reply. Dismissed.

Bourbon
Vodka for me

Bourbon IS whiskey.
All bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskeys are bourbon.
Whisky is the Family's name. Under whisky comes varieties such as, Scotch, Bourbon, Irish, Rye, Japanese, etc. They are all Whisky's.
whiskies not whisky's
excuse me, bourbon is in fact location specific. It can ONLY be made in the united states, and ONLY in the united states.
Bourbon is a type of whiskey.
People love bourbon, and they don't care who it offends
The only good about it is 1 ounce will help leg cramps.
So bourbon is just a sweeter whiskey - got it bye
Nice video, but Bourbon is a type of whiskey. Nearly every comment below echoes this fact that undermines the veracity of this video.
Is Jack Daniels Black Label whiskey or bourbon?

Incorrect about being made in "Bourbon County Kentucky ".The county is not in the bourbon making area of Kentucky.
Bourbon is whisky
Tennessee Whiskey and Kentucky Bourbon
Almost everything on this video is wrong. Who did you guys consult to make this? Bourbon is whiskey. Rye is whiskey. Scotch is whiskey.

Is whiskey and rum the same thing?
No, it's not. Rum is made from sugar cane, while bourbon gets it's sweetness from corn.
