Does bourbon have to be made in Kentucky?

No — bourbon can be made anywhere in the United States. The legal requirements specify U.S. production from at least 51% corn aged in new charred oak. Kentucky produces over 95% of the world's bourbon due to its ideal climate and limestone water.

What is the difference between bourbon and rye whiskey?

Bourbon requires at least 51% corn and produces a sweeter, fuller-bodied spirit. Rye whiskey requires at least 51% rye grain, producing a spicier, drier character. Both must be aged in new charred oak.

What is allocated bourbon?

Produced in limited quantities distributed to select retailers in small allotments. Pappy Van Winkle, Blanton's, and the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection rarely appear at retail price.

What is bottled-in-bond bourbon?

Established by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Must be the product of one distillation season at one distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.

Buy Bourbon Online – Allocated, Rare & Premium Kentucky Bourbon

Bourbon is America's native spirit — distilled from at least 51% corn, aged in new charred oak, and produced with no shortcuts. Wooden Cork carries one of the most comprehensive bourbon selections available online, from everyday bottles to the most allocated expressions in American whiskey. Every bottle ships nationwide with adult-signature delivery in 1–7 days.

What Makes Bourbon Bourbon

By law, bourbon must be produced in the United States from a mash containing at least 51% corn, distilled to no more than 160 proof, entered into new charred oak barrels at no more than 125 proof, and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof. Kentucky produces over 95% of the world's bourbon supply.

The Buffalo Trace Distillery Portfolio

The Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky produces the most coveted portfolio in American whiskey. The flagship Buffalo Trace Bourbon is the approachable entry point. Blanton's Single Barrel — the original single barrel bourbon. W.L. Weller is the wheated lineup. Eagle Rare is aged a minimum of 10 years. At the top sit the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and Pappy Van Winkle.

Other Top Bourbon Distilleries

Maker's Mark pioneered the wheated bourbon style. Woodford Reserve is triple-distilled and the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby. Four Roses produces 10 distinct recipes from two mashbills and five yeast strains. Knob Creek and Elijah Craig represent Heaven Hill's premium tier. Colonel E.H. Taylor honors Buffalo Trace's most historically significant figure.

Wheated vs. High-Rye Bourbon

The secondary grain defines character. Wheated bourbons replace rye with wheat for a softer, sweeter spirit — Maker's Mark, Weller, and Pappy Van Winkle. High-rye bourbons add spice and complexity — Four Roses, Knob Creek, and Buffalo Trace itself. Understanding this connects bourbon directly to straight rye whiskey.
