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).
Bourbon has no minimum specified duration for its aging period. Products aged for as little as three months are sold as bourbon. The exception is straight bourbon, which has a minimum aging requirement of two years. In addition, any bourbon aged less than four years must include an age statement on its label.
