Bourbon is a great digestif. This American whiskey is made from corn (at least 51%) and aged in seared barrels. This, like other subtleties of making bourbon, gives it an incomparable aroma of vanilla and cinnamon, as well as a characteristic sweetish taste with a long aftertaste.
Instructions
Step 1
Bourbon is poured from a bottle only in public places, and at home or in closed respectable establishments - from special bottles. Because only a bottle with thin walls can convey the wide spectrum of colors that are inherent in this drink. Golden, amber, radiant, transparent, polished, brown, sparkling, serene and rich…. Such definitions of color are traditional for professional tasters.
Step 2
Bourbon, like regular whiskey, is drunk from sturdy old glasses. In Scotland, in addition to old glasses, they use two-handed pewter cups - quaich, a traditional device for bourbon or scotch tape.
Step 3
Drinking bourbon takes your time, absorbing the taste of every sip and enjoying the noble aroma of wood that this drink has absorbed. First, a glass of amber drink should be warmed in the palms of your hands, like brandy. Then it should be shaken slightly to intensify the flavor of the bourbon. You can also add a piece of ice or a few drops to the glass, as the water will break the flavor of the good bourbon apart, allowing you to distinguish vanilla from cigar and woody flavors.
Step 4
That is, the point is not to get drunk "to hell," but to enjoy the process itself, every moment, sitting in a comfortable chair with a glass of this drink. Then, when the bourbon has heated your blood, do not rush to eat anything, wait a little for the long aftertaste to show its undertones.
Step 5
If you want to liven up a meeting with your friends or with a lady of the heart, you can make a cocktail. Add a small amount of rum, sugar syrup, cream, and egg yolk to bourbon for a thick drink that tastes good. For a more invigorating, tart alternative, mix bourbon with lemon juice and pomegranate syrup. Or you can make Kentucky Bourbon by pouring some liqueur into glasses of bourbon and decorating the cocktail with cherries.
