I like a nice Irish Whiskey...like the kind I was carrying around at Alpine
and for you cheap folks, Vanilla flavored alcohol infused whipped cream will do...but only enough cans to compensate for the price of one nice bottle of whiskey.

the single barrel stuff is suppose to be the better stuff...ie it typically sits around in the barrel longer and also gets the prime spots in the ageing house....allowing it to soak up more flavor.

Bourbon is a type of American whiskey – a barrel-aged distilled spirit made primarily from corn. The name of the spirit derives from its historical association with an area known as Old Bourbon, around what is now Bourbon County, Kentucky (which, in turn, was named after the French House of Bourbon royal family). It has been produced since the 18th century.[1] While it may be made anywhere in the United States, it is strongly associated with Kentucky specifically, and the American South in general.

The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits (27 C.F.R. 5) state that bourbon made for consumption within the United States[4] must meet these requirements:
Only whiskey produced in the United States can be called bourbon.[5]
Bourbon must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.[6]
Bourbon must be aged in new, charred oak barrels.[6]
Bourbon must be distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume).[6]
Bourbon must be entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume).[6]
Bourbon, like other whiskeys, must be bottled at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume).[7]
Bourbon has no minimum specified duration for its aging period, although it must be aged at least briefly.[8] However, the following definitions and requirements apply that relate to aging periods:
Bourbon that meets the above requirements, has been aged for a minimum of two years, and has no added coloring, flavoring, or other spirits may (but is not required to) be called Straight bourbon.[9]
Bourbon that is labeled as Straight that has been aged for a period less than four years must be labeled with the duration of its aging.[10]
Bourbon that has an age stated on its label must be labeled with the age of the youngest whiskey in the bottle (not counting the age of any added neutral grain spirits in a Bourbon that is labeled as Blended, as neutral grain spirits are not considered whiskey under the regulations and are not required to be aged at all).[11]
Bourbon that is labeled as Blended (or as ‘a blend’) may contain added coloring, flavoring, and other spirits (such as un-aged neutral grain spirits); however, at least 51% of such a product must be Straight Bourbon.[12][13]
yup.

The typical grain mixture for bourbon, known as the mash bill, is 70% corn — with the remainder being wheat and/or rye, and malted barley
Only whiskey produced in the United States can be called bourbon
Whiskey:
Under the legislation, “Scotch Whisky” means whisky that has been:
Produced at a distillery in Scotland from water and malted barley (to which only whole grains of other cereals may be added)
both are aged in oak barrels, Bourbon being the only one aged in charred barrels to gain color, aging is not determined for bourbon, but whiskey must be aged for a minimum of 3 years to attain a natural coloring.

Being the immature 23 year old that I am, everytime I read "knob" on this bottle I laugh a little bit.
