Bourbon is received from corn. Technological processes of preparation and whisky, and bourbon have much in common. But the main difference is that they are differently maintained. In what barrels alcohol is kept, affects taste of drink. The adhesive tape is maintained in earlier used barrels from under a sherry. Their wood is softer and it gives to an adhesive tape aroma of former drink. Alcohol from which in several years bourbon will turn out needs to be kept only in the new barrels burned from within from a white oak. Thanks to this nuance, drink has dark saturated color. As for taste, the adhesive tape differs in tartness and softness, and bourbon has sweetish taste and saturated aroma.
