美国威士忌 BOURBON

美国威士忌 BOURBON According to Federal regulations, for an American whiskey to be labeled as bourbon it must be made from a mash containing between 51% and 79% corn If the corn content is higher, the product must be designated as corn whiskey Bourbon is a straight whiskey and, according to the law, must be distilled at 160 proof (80% alcohol) or less and must be aged a minimum of two years in new charred oak barrels As a practical matter, though, most bourbon is aged at least four years and often longer Since it is a straight whiskey, no blending is permitted and there are no additives, with the exception of water to reduce the proof Most bourbons are marketed as 80-proof products, but some, particularly the newer boutique, small-batch, single barrel and barrel proof products are much higher in alcohol content By law, bourbon can be distilled anywhere in the U S , but the vast majority of it is produced in Kentucky, where it must be distilled and warehoused for at least one year in order to carry the “Kentucky Bourbon” designation on the label 上一篇: 阿尔及利亚Glenn Bowman 饭店下一篇英语: 彩砖 (ColorBrik)查看更多关于时尚英语的文章网友同时还浏览了: 10种常吃菜的英文名:保你不知道 世界七大奇观:除金字塔之外还有 要知道:时尚女孩最爱说的10句口 历史上的真实:水门事件的照 茶的佛文化:菩提老祖解乏的妙药 三八妇女节:放假庆祝,还是斗争
