Some things we learned Bourbon tasting

 Finished 2 days of Bourbon tasting. Lots of fun! Some things we learned:

Smell the bourbon - each nostril gets a different olfactory experience 

Bourbon chew- always take your first sip and keep it in your mouth swirling it around for 10 seconds and then swallow and breath out!!!

Kentucky hug - the burning sensation you get in your throat from the first few sips 

The mash. The blend of corn rye and barley used as ingredients 

Sweet starter. New yeast every time 

Sour starter. Using some of the yeast from previous batches.

All bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon.  Needs to be more than 50 percent corn.  Made in America.  Aged in a barrel. 

95% of bourbon is made in Kentucky!!

Kentucky is pretty and has lots of horses and horse farms!!

I like Bourbon!!
