Difference Between Blended Whiskey & Bourbon. Whiskey is an alcoholic spirit made from distilled grain or corn that have aged in oak barrels. There are multiple types of whiskey, including bourbon, a straight whiskey made primarily from corn, and blended whiskey, a mixture of straight whiskey and other neutral grain spirits. Blended whiskey is often regarded as being of lower quality than bourbon, although some drinkers find the flavors are similar.
When the balance is rye, the bourbon is known as a âryed bourbon.â Ryed bourbons are very bold and spicy. When the balance is wheat, the bourbon is known as a âwheated bourbon.â Wheated bourbons are generally sweeter, nuttier, mellow and easy to drink. For these reasons, it is the wheated bourbons that are generally preferred straight up, especially on the lower end, i.e., the less expensive ones.
