Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition is a great whiskey for introducing people to drinking it neat.

Most single malt shills only care about shilling big names/popular releases. The value bottles rarely get the time of day. If you have a Total Wine nearby and have them stocked they should be one of the things they have no problem sampling for you.

No, bourbon needs corn. 51% (or more).

The legal requirements to qualify as bourbon are:
>Produced in the U.S.
>Made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn
>Aged in new, charred oak containers
>Distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof
>Entered into the container for aging at no more than 125 proof
>Bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more
The minimum age for bourbon is 3 months, but anything under 4 years must be labeled with its age. Except "Straight bourbon" which is legally required to age for 2 years at a minimum, cannot be colored/flavored, and can't be blended with another spirit. Another category is Bottled in Bond, which has its own legal requirements
>Bottled-in-bond bourbon is a sub-category of straight bourbon that must be produced by a single distiller at a single distillery in a single season, aged at least four years, and bottled at 100 proof

So legally, rye isn't required at all and is simply one of several cereal grain options. Though admittedly rye is incredibly popular for bourbon mash bills, it's hardly "needed".

> To be legally sold as bourbon, the whiskey's mash bill requires a minimum of 51% corn, with the remainder being any cereal grain. A proposed change to U.S. regulations will expand allowable "grains" to include seeds of the pseudocereals amaranth, buckwheat, and quinoa.

[Anonymous No.20624612]

Traditionally, bourbon has rye in the mashbill because farmers made whiskey from their excess rye. Many moved to kentucky after Hamilton's sin tax on whiskey. Kentucky' land is better suited for corn, and wouldn't you know it? Wheat.
