Grain based equals whiskey. Fruit based equals brandy.
All bourbons are whiskeys but not all whiskey’s are bourbon
Is it the same that all schnapps are brandy, but not all brandy’s are schnapps or have I over simplified again.
Remember boys keep it simple for out in the the country.
Over to the b4a8ns trust to explain schnapps V Brandyplease lol
I think this was called a vodka originally as its more of a flavored vodka then anything due to the sugar base
Grain based only equals whiskey if you want the end product to be whiskey, ie grain based vodka is a different beast
Bourbon is whiskey but has to have corn in it to be called bourbon (minimum percent of corn) and technically made in certain states
Brandy is typically aged/made from certain fruit (apricots,plums,grape etc_
Schnapps is typically clear and un aged but has a wider range of fruit associated with it depending on where it originates from, pálinka which is hungarian Scnapps is made from any fruit that originated in Hungry
Slivovitz is plum/plum brandy only
:p
