rượu bourbon
/ˈbɜːbən//ˈbɜːrbən/The origin of the word "bourbon" in relation to bourbon whiskey can be traced back to the Bourbon dynasty that ruled France from the late 16th century to the mid-18th century. During this time, French troops occupied Kentucky, where bourbon whiskey is now considered a quintessential American spirit. One theory suggests that the troops introduced the local distillers to a type of cognac that they personally preferred, which was then labeled as "Bourbon" after the dynasty that ruled France during their time in America. Another theory suggests that the term Bourbon was used to distinguish the whiskey from Scotland's Scotch-Irish whiskey, which was popular in the region at the time. Whatever the origins, bourbon whiskey is now recognized as an American style of distilled spirits, typically made from a mash of at least 51% corn, aged in charred oak barrels, and bottled at no less than 80% alcohol by volume (ABV). The alcohol content and age can greatly affect the taste and complexity of bourbon, and it has become a popular ingredient in cocktails and a favorite among whiskey lovers around the world.
