Bourbon is mostly made from corn, at least 51% corn. Rye whiskey is mostly or entirely made from Rye. They differ in many other details - for example Bourbon must be aged in new, charred American Oak barrels and made in the US, Scotch must be made in Scotland, but the big differences are the grains used.
Scotch is whisky made in Scotland, while bourbon is whiskey made in the U.S.A, generally Kentucky. Scotch is made mostly from malted barley, while bourbon is distilled from corn.If youâre in England and ask for a whisky, youâll get Scotch.But in Ireland, youâll get Irish whiskey (yep, they spell it differently for a little colour).he difference between Tennessee Whiskey, like Jack Danielâs, for example, and Bourbon is that after the spirit is distilled, Tennessee Whiskey is filtered through sugar-maple charcoal. This filtering, known as the Lincoln County Process, is what distinguishes Tennessee Whiskey from your average Bourbon, like Jim Beam.
