To be considered a bourbon a spirit must be made of mash that's 51% or better corn, must be distilled to no more than 160 proof, bottled to no less than 80 and placed in the barrel for aging at no more than 125. It must be aged in new charred oak barrels as well. This is federal law we're talking about. Apparently there's no requirement beyond what's listed here to have a bourbon considered a 'Kentucky bourbon'. Some makers use that as a way to differentiate themselves. Those that do also use water from a specific source. This is not required by law.
At any rate, I'm sure you can see now how nothing you're concerned about has anything at all to do with what makes a bourbon a bourbon.
I'm assuming it'll be something they might do for some new Japanese Whisky. It might interesting stuff to try. It'll be a few years before we get to try it, but it might be some tasty stuff. Then there is the possibility that they won't do anything new and just keep things as they are.Yeah but those will likely be new versions of old stuff and not replacements. And they'll probably be worth a look, too. You can really change a bourbon by varying how you age it.
Thats not exaclty what I meant, I always thought they was based in Kentucky, like it was just a bunch of Kentucky hillbillies makin this stuff, I had no idea that they had offices in Chicago, this totally shatters my illusion, the being bought by the Japanese thing is just icing on the cake.
