What is the difference between bourbon and whiskey?

Okay, here's the information about the difference between bourbon and whiskey in markdown format with the requested links:

The main difference is that <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Bourbon">Bourbon</a> is a type of <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Whiskey">Whiskey</a>. Think of it like squares and rectangles. All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. To be legally called bourbon in the United States, it must meet specific requirements:

• Grain Bill: It must be made from a grain mixture containing at least 51% corn.
• Distillation Proof: It cannot be distilled at higher than 160 proof (80% ABV).
• Barrel Aging: It must be aged in new, charred oak barrels.
• Entry Proof: It cannot enter the barrel at higher than 125 proof (62.5% ABV).
• No Additives: Nothing other than water can be added.
• U.S. Production: While not strictly required anymore (after a 1964 law designated bourbon as a distinctive product of the United States), most bourbon is produced in the United States.

Whiskey, on the other hand, is a broader category. It can be made from various grains (corn, rye, wheat, barley), has fewer restrictions on aging, and can be produced in many countries. For example, <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Scotch%20Whisky">Scotch Whisky</a> is made primarily from malted barley and aged in Scotland. <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Irish%20Whiskey">Irish Whiskey</a> has its own specific production methods, often using unmalted barley. And <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Rye%20Whiskey">Rye Whiskey</a> uses rye as it's dominate grain.

So, Bourbon is a specific type of whiskey with a strict set of production rules, while whiskey is a much broader term encompassing a wide range of distilled spirits.
