fruit & spices

Hello:

I am new here, and would like to know if fruit or spices are put in the distillery process, and if so, what part???

Stan,
No fruit or spices of any kind are added during the production of Straight Bourbon.

All true! Thanks Joe.

When you taste different fruits or spices in any whiskey it is due to the cogeners contained in incomplete distillation, which is to say that whiskey isn't vodka.

Also further flavors are derived from the maturation of the bourbon in new charred white oak barrels.

Some flavors derive form the imagination of the imaginer, which is to say that some (if not most) whiskey writters are clueless as to what in hell they are actually tasting, and therefore just make it all up - as in total fiction.

Yes, I know that all fiction is "total fiction". Incomplete fiction is, well, politics with a spin. And Viagra...With a big cigar.

I think I'd rather dance!

Thanks for the info concerning fruit and spices. I mix ancient age with mellow yellow and the taste has hints of apple pie
