Bourbon Menu
Lilly’s Proudly Supports the
One of the first things to keep in mind, and it is said often here in Kentucky, is that all Bourbons are Whiskey, but not all Whiskies are Bourbon. To be called Bourbon, the following criteria must be met:
1. Made from a fermented mash with a minimum of 51% and a maximum of 79% corn
2. Distilled at less than 80% alcohol/volume (160 proof)
3. Stored in a new, charred, white oak barrel at a maximum of 62.5% alcohol/volume (125 proof) for at least 2 years
4. The original color and flavor of the whiskey can not be filtered or altered in any way
5. Must be produced and stored (for at least one year of the aging) in Kentucky to be called Kentucky Bourbon, although bourbon can be made anywhere and be called bourbon
6. Only water can be added to adjust the Bourbon to the appropriate bottling strength…nothing else.
