Bourbon is made with at least 51% corn, leading to a grain-forward sweetness, while additional grains contribute tasting notes from citrus and pepper to honey and nuts.
Aging in charred oak barrels gives bourbon rich notes of vanilla and caramel, with deeper flavors of toffee, oak, smoke, leather, and cocoa developed over time.
The core flavors of bourbon provide a foundation for snack pairings, allowing for unique combinations that enhance both the drink and the food experience.
Saltines serve as an unassuming palate cleanser during bourbon tastings; their blandness allows the distinct flavors of bourbon to shine without overshadowing them.
