Bourbon offers a diverse collection of inherently American bourbon and whiskey, showcasing its uniqueness based on how it is aged, where it is made, what it is made from, as well as how it is barreled. The charred oak wood barrels mellow the bourbon and smooth out the taste. In addition to aging the bourbon in the barrels, the taste can be changed by introducing other flavors to the product by soaking or curing the barrel with a different spirit, such as aged rum, port or chardonnay. As the barrels are refilled for aging new product, the flavors from previous batches will enhance and change the taste and flavor of the bourbon.
