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).
There are three main American whiskey types: Straight whiskey is made from at least 51 percent of a grain. The distilled product must not exceed 160 proof (80 percent ABV), and must be aged for at least 2 years in oak barrels. The finished product, diluted with water, must be at least 80 proof. Typical straight whiskeys are Bourbon, Rye whiskey, and Tennessee whiskey (see related ingredients). Light whiskey is distilled to higher than 160 proof and diluted with more water than straight whiskey. It is then stored in charred oak barrels. Light whiskeys are mainly used for blending.
