Every Type Of Bourbon Explained

Bourbon is more than just "sweet American whiskey." From the soft sweetness of a Wheated Bourbon to the spicy bite of a High-Rye, and the intense heat of a Cask-Strength bottle—the world of bourbon is a complex landscape of flavour shaped by law and tradition. In this episode of PantryVerse, we’re breaking down the "Every Explained" guide to bourbon styles. We’ll look at the specific mash bills, aging rules, and finishing techniques that separate a standard Kentucky Straight from a Bottled-in-Bond or a Single-Barrel release. Whether you’re a curious foodie or a budding whiskey enthusiast, this guide will help you understand exactly what’s behind the label the next time you’re at the store. In this video, we cover: The Foundation: What legally makes a bourbon "Kentucky Straight." The Mash Bill Splits: Wheated vs. High-Rye vs. Corn-Forward. Production Styles: Bottled-in-Bond, Small-Batch, and Single-Barrel. Advanced Finishes: Cask-Strength and Double-Oaked. The Comparison: Why Tennessee Whiskey isn't technically bourbon.
