Got Jim Beam, the World's Finest Bourbon, it smell nice, I don't drink it. just wondering about bourbon. Bourbon is an American form of whiskey made from corn and wheat and/or rye, and malted barley. Distilled and aged in new charred oak barrels for at least four years. After aging, bourbon is diluted with water to 46% alcohol and bottled. Bourbon can legally be made anywhere in the United States. But the most of the bourbon brands are made in Kentucky, you know that the bourbon county is Kentucky. Jim Beam has 200 years history in distilled the bourbon, until now it has six generation of distillers. They say that this is an American heritage. it started by Jacob Beam in 1770 then David Beam in 1800s, then David M. Beam, Col James B. Beam, T. Jeremiah Beam and Booker Noe.

I like Scotch, myself. It's a product of Scotland made from a blend of different whiskies. Or there's single malt Scotch, which is made from one whiskey from an area. It's more expensive though, so I don't drink it all the time.
