Bourbon is a type of American whiskey that is distilled from a mash made primarily of corn. The mash must contain at least 51% corn, and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels. Other requirements for bourbon include being produced in the United States and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof.
Trade protection for the name "bourbon" is provided by a number of legal regulations. In the United States, bourbon is protected as a distinctive product of the United States under federal law. This means that any whiskey labeled as "bourbon" must meet the legal requirements for the product, including the mash composition and aging in new, charred oak barrels.
