I've seen the Iowa Bourbon Whiskey on shelves. I LOVE Templeton! Has anyone tried the Iowa Bourbon, and if so, does it compare? It is priced a little below Templeton, I'm just not sure if I want to try it out. Comments welcome!

I thought Bourbon could only come from Kentucky?
My brand is Maker's but I like Templeton very much also. This Iowa "Bourbon" has piqued my interest.

Bourbon has to be 51% corn.
It has to be aged in new charred oak barrels.
It's strong, bold and is affected by the barrels a lot. You'll find a twinge on your tongue at first, followed by some heat and sweetness. It will then mellow.
Bourbon has perhaps the most fortified of taste in whiskeys.
Rye is made from 51% or greater rye grain.
Rye is has a peppery character to it. Templeton is very smooth, but you're going to get a little kick with it.
It is traditionally from the "Bourbon" County Area of Kentucky, however it doesn't have to be from there to be called Bourbon.
Scotch has to be from Scotland. Canadian Whiskey has come from Canada, and Irish Whiskey has to come from Ireland however.
I love Cedar Ridge Bourbon, and honestly believe it's going to be the next think you're going to see people hoarding.
I wish stores in iowa carried Pappy Van Winkles, I have to get it online. I have a bottle of this at home I need to find a good reason to open it. The 12 year I had last was phenomenal, this is one of the highest rated bourbon s ever I guess.
