Sip And Learn At Science Of Bourbon Blending Event

Most people are familiar with bourbon, whether they’ve personally enjoyed its complex flavors or have seen a bottle of Jim Beam at a friend or relatives house. 

For a spirit to be considered bourbon it must be made from a minimum of 51 percent corn, along with a combination of other grains such as rye, wheat and malted barley, according to the American Bourbon Association. You can check out more bourbon facts here.
