The Complete 2026 Guide to Bourbon Delivery
Bourbon has exploded in popularity over the last decade—and buying it online has become one of the easiest ways to explore new bottles. This guide walks through what bourbon actually is, how it’s made, the different styles you’ll see on the shelf, and how online bourbon delivery works when you order through licensed retailers.
1. What exactly is bourbon?
Bourbon is a distinctly American style of whiskey with specific legal requirements. To be labeled “bourbon,” a whiskey must be made in the United States, use a mash bill of at least 51% corn, be aged in new charred American oak barrels, and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof. No added flavors or colors are allowed—its sweetness and character come entirely from the grain, the yeast, and the barrel.
2. How bourbon is made (simplified)
Every distillery does things a little differently, but most bourbon follows the same core steps:
- Grain selection: Corn + rye or wheat + malted barley.
- Mashing: Grains cooked with water to convert starches into sugars.
- Fermentation: Yeast converts sugars into alcohol.
- Distillation: The mash is distilled into a clear spirit.
- Barrel aging: Spirit enters new charred oak barrels and matures.
- Bottling: Barrels are blended or bottled by taste and proofed with water.
3. Main types of bourbon you’ll see online
- Straight bourbon: Aged at least 2 years, no additives.
- Single barrel: Flavor varies barrel to barrel.
- Small batch: Blended from fewer barrels.
- Wheated bourbon: Softer, sweeter profile.
- High-rye bourbon: Spicier, more complex.
- Cask strength: Bottled at barrel proof; bold and intense.
4. How bourbon delivery works when you order online

- Cocktails: Medium-proof bottles with balanced spice.
- Sipping neat: Single barrels, small batches, wheated bourbons.
