This actually incorrect. Bourbon must have a mash bill of 51% corn or more. It also can only be made in the United States (Any state can produce bourbon). On the distilling side, the grains may not be distilled above 160 proof and when it is aged, it can be no higher than 125 proof and bottled at 80 proof or higher. Lastly, it must be aged in "charred new oak barrels".

Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey has all the same requirements as bourbon plus it must be aged for at least 1 year in the state of Kentucky.

This is all derived from US Code of Federal Regulations 27 CFR § 5.22 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...l1-sec5-22.pdf
