BOURBON SOUR OR WHISKY SOUR – WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

A Bourbon Sour and a Whisky Sour are similar cocktails, but they are made with different types of spirits.

A Bourbon Sour is made with bourbon, which is a type of American whiskey made from at least 51% corn and aged in charred oak barrels. The sweetness from the corn and the vanilla and caramel notes from the oak barrels give the cocktail a rich and smooth taste with a hint of sweetness.

A Whisky Sour, on the other hand, is made with whisky (or whiskey), which is a broader category that includes bourbon but also other types of whiskey such as Scotch, Irish, and Canadian. The flavour profile of a Whisky Sour will depend on the type of whisky used, and can range from smoky and peaty to smooth and fruity.

Both Bourbon Sour and Whisky Sour are delicious and classic cocktails, it really depends on personal preference. If you enjoy the taste of bourbon, you might prefer a Bourbon Sour, while if you prefer a more diverse range of flavours and styles, a Whisky Sour may be a better choice.
