Mt Baker - Bourbon

Bourbon is a type of whiskey that is recognized as "a distinctive product of the United States."  Although bourbon may be produced in any of the fifty states, most bourbons are produced in Kentucky where iron-free water that has been filtered through high concentrations of limestone, unique to the area, help give it its signature flavor.

Bourbon is made from corn mixed with other grains.  The more corn, the sweeter the whiskey. The U.S, government has actually set standards for Bourbon Whiskey.  In order to be called "Straight Bourbon" a whiskey must be produced in the United States, made of at least 51% corn, distilled at less than 160 proof, aged in new, charred white oak barrels for a minimum of two years and cannot contain any additives.

The main ingredients in bourbon are distilled grain and water. The grain is a mixture of corn and other grains such as rye, barley and malt.  Which grains, other than corn, are used depends on the manufacturer.

As they say, all bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. Congress declared bourbon America;s Native Spirit in 1964 under President Lyndon B. Johnson. By law, a whiskey can't say "bourbon" on the label unless it was made in the United States.

Mt Baker's Bourbon e-juice is as sweet as bourbon should be.  This bottle has been steeping for quite some time as I forgot about it.  My first reaction after vaping some straight up was "Whoo!  This stuff is strong!"  Just like a good old Kentucky Bourbon straight on the rocks!

This particular blend is very sweet and tastes like alcohol with subtle hints of vanilla and caramel (I think).  Or maybe I detect hints of charred white oak?  I don't know, I don't really know what charred white oak tastes like.

This is not an all day vape.  It's a bold flavor that might be best used with a mixer.  You know, homemade cocktails. You can vape it straight up if you like. I think I need to buy a Coca-Cola e-juice to go with it.
