Source argument

Grain, maturation and labeling categories offer consumers broad flavor expectations.

Evidence map

American whiskey styles — correction map for Dwyer’s overview — located source evidence; Dwyer2026AmericanWhiskeyTypes — complete article review.

Coverage: Bourbon Whiskey; Corn Whiskey; American Single Malt; Straight Whiskey; Bottled-In-Bond Whiskey. All nine category sections and concluding guidance read. Local HTML preserves the complete article body.

Researcher synthesis

Keep category teaching separate from statutory definitions and subjective tasting generalizations. Current 27 CFR 5.143 permits American single malt distillation at 160 proof and bottling at 80 proof; aging need not occur at the distillery.

Regulatory comparison: No access and 27 CFR 5.143, checked September 6, 2026.

Assessment

The current regulation also allows new uncharred oak for corn whiskey. General straight-whiskey claims must not erase corn or single-malt exceptions. No empirical flavor comparison is reported.

Bottled-in-bond rules must be sourced separately. Do not promote this overview as a legal authority.
