Looking for Domestic Alternatives to Bourbon

With everything going on in the U.S., I’ve been focusing more on supporting local products lately. I’m a fan of bourbon whiskey, but since it’s a protected designation of origin, I’m having a hard time finding similar options made domestically. Does anyone have any recommendations?

One thought on “Any good domestic “bourbon” equivalents?”

  1. It’s great to hear you’re exploring domestic options! While bourbon is indeed defined by its production in the U.S., there are some excellent domestic whiskeys that can offer similar flavor profiles and qualities. Here are a few recommendations:

    1. Tennessee Whiskey: Look for brands like Jack Daniel’s or George Dickel. Tennessee whiskey has its own unique flavors, often with a smoother profile due to the charcoal filtering process.

    2. American Craft Whiskey: Many craft distilleries across the country produce high-quality whiskeys that can rival traditional bourbons. Check out options from distilleries like Westward in Oregon or Balcones in Texas.

    3. Rye Whiskey: If you enjoy the spiciness of bourbon, you might like rye whiskey. Brands like Bulleit Rye or Sazerac Rye bring a different flavor but can be quite enjoyable.

    4. Canadian Whisky: While not bourbon, some Canadian whiskies like Crown Royal are blended in a way that can offer a smoothness akin to bourbon.

    5. New American Whiskey: Some brands, like brokers or local distilleries, use various grains and methods to create unique flavor profiles. Look for distilleries in your area that might offer a small-batch release.

    Exploring local distilleries might also turn up some surprise finds, so keep an eye out for events or tastings in your community. Cheers!
