3 Easy Fall Bourbon Cocktails
Hey Bourbon lovers! I am excited to share with you some delicious and easy bourbon cocktails that I created/remixed. I love bourbon for many reasons. It is great to drink, made marinades for shirmp, chicken, steak and pork and great to create cocktails. My favorite Bourbon is from my local metroplex Blackland Distillery in Fort Worth, Texas! I discovered them last year and did a tour of their distillery and had there drinks and it is so great to drink straight and they have a few different kinds.

BOURBON COCKTAILS: BLACKLAND BOURBON WHISKEY
So what is Bourbon Whiskey. All Bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is not bourbon. Whiskey is a dark distilled spirit made from fermented grains such as rye, corn, wheat, and barley. You may have heard of Scotch Whiskey which is Whiskey from Scotland and Rye Whiskey which Blackland carries as well. Bourbon is a type of whiskey, but it comes with different distinctions.
To be classified as bourbon, a whiskey must be made from at least 51% corn, made in the United States, aged in new, charred American white oak barrels, and be at least 80 proof. Bourbon is also sweeter taste than other whiskeys too due to being made from mostly corn. Blackland carries 3 types of Whiskey – Bourbon Whiskey, Rye Whiskey and my favorite Texas Pecan Brown Sugar Whiskey. For my Bourbon cocktails recipes below, I use Bourbon and the Texas Pecan whiskies.
