American bourbon is a favorite among many alcohol lovers. This list covers various bourbon flavors, from top-selling brands to more obscure ones. Bourbon is distinct, with all varieties aged in new, charred-oak barrels, giving each a unique flavor based on age. Made primarily from corn in the US, bourbon whiskey can include malted barley, rye, wheat, and at least 51% corn. The aging process in wooden casks adds color and changes the taste. With many types of whisky and bourbon available, drinkers have plenty of options. Popular brands include Elijah Craig, Basil Hayden's, Pappy Van Winkle, Jefferson's Presidential Select, Four Roses, and Wild Turkey. This list helps determine the best-tasting bourbons through votes from users. Vote up your favorite and down the ones that miss the mark.
