Bourbon, by far the most common and popular type of American whiskey, is distilled from corn, wheat, rye and barley.  By law, it must be at least 51% corn.  Also by law it must be aged in new charred American white oak barrels for at least 2 years, usually more.

If you need to know something about bourbon, come on in and ask Speical Bob.  He, uh, likes bourbon and seems to be able to talk about it for hours.

Contrary to popular belief, bourbon does not have to be made in Kentucky. 

Tennessee whiskey (like Jack Daniels) is NOT bourbon, it is a cousin of bourbon, that is made slightly differently. 

Rye is also a cousin of bourbon, identical in every way except that the mash of grains must be at least 51% rye instead of corn.
