Buffalo Trace is one of the greatest bourbons to buy on a budget. These bourbons are known for their "smoothness" and are significantly less expensive than other brands on the market today. Knob Creek and Coopers Craft both offer inexpensive beverages for around the same price, but they don't have the same reputation for smoothness as whiskey produced in copper barrels. Bourbon whiskey is a kind of whiskey. Bourbons aren't all whiskeys, and whiskeys aren't all bourbons.
There is a distinction between Bourbon and Whiskey, despite the fact that the words are usually used interchangeably. Whiskey may be manufactured from virtually anything that ferments, but Bourban must include at least 51 percent corn mash.
