Straight bourbon whiskey is a type of whiskey (of course). Whiskey is a type of alcoholic drink made from cereal grains, distilled to strong spirit strength, and usually aged in barrels. Bourbon is a very specific type of whiskey. It must be made in the US. The grain used must be at least 51% corn (maize).
So, What Does Straight Mean? Straight is where things get really confusing because drinkers use it in two different ways. Some use it when they order a straight pour of darker spirits (e.g. bourbon straight, which would 'technically' be neat). Other drinkers use it to mean a white spirit chilled and served in a cocktail glass (e.g. vodka chilled, which would 'technically' be up). We also have to remember that we are talking about the bar here and, given the nature of an environment that involves liquor, there is often no real right and wrong answer.
