What is the main difference of the two?

Too much bourbon you wake up hungover, too much rum you wake up still drunk.

Bourbon is a whiskey and rum is a rum.

ones made from grain, the other from sugarcane.

Rum is distilled from sugar cane and generally aged in oak barrels that once had bourbon in them, while bourbon is distilled from corn and is aged in new charred oak barrels only, which give it that distinctive vanilla flavor. Not sure if it still stands but true bourbon has to be distilled in Bourbon county Kentucky

k0nr4d · 09-27-2013, 05:22 AM

Bourbon is at least 51% corn and made in USA

Bourbon tastes nice and rum is discusting

I have a house very close to the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles Kentucky and the Makers Mark and a few other Distilleries are just a few miles away as well.

Below are a few facts I lifted from a website ……….

* Bourbon can be made anywhere in the U.S.
Many people assume that because bourbon is named after Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it was first made in the 1800s, that it must be made in Kentucky to be called bourbon. After all, isn't Jack Daniel's basically the same thing, only it's made in Tennessee? That's a common misconception. According to Maker's Mark Master Distiller Kevin Smith, whiskey can be called bourbon no matter where in the country it's made -- it just has to be made according to the rules we laid out above. So why is JD's not bourbon? Because it's filtered through maple wood charcoal before being aged in oak barrels, which is an extra step that isn't included in making bourbon.

* Bourbon distillers can only use their barrels once
When bourbon distillers are done with the barrels they use to age the bourbon, they are reused to age other non-bourbon whiskies. Reusing the barrels makes sense, because they cost around $120 each. For example, Maker's Mark and Jim Beam send some of their barrels across the Atlantic to Scotland, where they're used to age Laphroaig single malt Scotch.

* The weather during the aging process affects bourbon's taste
During aging, bourbon-filled barrels are kept in big, multi-storey warehouses called rickhouses. Rickhouses are very rarely climate-controlled, and depending on the outside weather, the wood barrels expand and contract, imparting different types of flavor into the liquor. The hotter the weather, the more the pores of the wood open up and impart their flavor -- as a result, barrels stored on the top floor of the rickhouse, where it's hotter, will have a slightly different flavor than those stored on the bottom floor.

* During World War II, bourbon distilleries were converted to make fuel alcohol and penicillin
Bourbon distilleries were shut down during Prohibition (which lasted from 1920 to 1933), and they barely had the chance to get back up and running when World War II started and the distilleries were repurposed to make recently invented penicillin. Penicillin is a product of fermentation, so distilleries were a natural choice for places to make it in mass quantities. Because of these historical disruptions to bourbon production, the market for the spirit didn't pick up again until the late 1980s.

Fill a tall glass with vanilla ice cream then fill 3/4 with Captain Morgan's Tattoo rum. Put back in freezer for 30-45 minutes then enjoy. Better than a root-beer float and has a little buzz

Edit: has to be the Tattoo dark berry blend.

I heard on the radio a few weeks ago that Jack Daniels came up with a new method of extracting the bourbon embedded in the wood grain of the barrels and were selling it as a premium version.

Not sure if they have to destroy the barrels in the process...couldn't find anything about it on their website.

I am Scottish. I take GREAT offense to that ignorant statement. Bourbon is NOT a Whisky - or, as you illiterates spell it - Whiskey. Maybe in America Bourbon is a "whiskey". But it will NEVER be a true Whisky. Rum is fermented sugar. Whisky is the elixir of God himself.

Fuck off and drink you fuckers.

Bourbon is for drinking straight, rum is what you add to mixed drinks.

100%.
Brandy>whiskey and rum

Vendzilla · 09-29-2013, 08:16 PM

Captain Morgan is only 80 proof, where Sailor Jerry is 92 proof, big difference.

About Whiskey, Jack Daniels is the only Whiskey left in the US that still makes their own barrels. I'm going to buy one soon for my bar

baddog · 09-29-2013, 08:25 PM

Bourbon made from corn and in the US
Rum made from sugarcane in 3rd world countries
