FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Does bourbon whiskey contain gluten?

No. Although bourbon is made from grains like corn, rye, and barley, the distillation process removes gluten proteins, making it safe for most people with celiac disease.

How long does an opened bottle of bourbon last?

An opened bottle will stay good for 1 to 2 years if stored properly, though the flavor may begin to change slightly due to oxidation as the bottle empties.

Can bourbon be frozen?

Bourbon will not freeze in a standard home freezer because its high alcohol content (usually 40% ABV or higher) gives it a freezing point around -17°F (-27°C).

What is a good non-alcoholic substitute for bourbon in cooking?

Apple juice, white grape juice, or ginger ale mixed with a drop of vanilla extract can mimic the sweetness and depth of bourbon in recipes.

What makes a whiskey a 'bourbon'?

To be classified as bourbon, it must be produced in the USA, made from at least 51% corn, and aged in new, charred oak containers.

Does bourbon contain sugar?

Standard straight bourbon contains zero sugar. Any sweetness perceived comes from the corn mash and the vanillins extracted from the charred oak barrels during aging.

How should I choose a bourbon for cooking?

Choose a bourbon you would enjoy drinking. A mid-range 'straight bourbon' is usually best for cooking as it provides consistent flavor without the high price of premium bottles.

Does the alcohol completely cook out of bourbon?

No. Depending on the cooking method and time, anywhere from 5% to 85% of the alcohol may remain in the finished dish.
