What is the difference between whiskey and bourbon?

Well, honey, Bourbon is a type of whiskey, just like how a square is a type of rectangle. Bourbon is made primarily from corn and must meet specific legal requirements to be called bourbon, while whiskey is a broader category that includes various types like scotch and rye. So, all bourbons are whiskeys, but not all whiskeys are bourbons. Hope that clears things up for ya, darling.
