Yes, but; bourbon has to lagered in new barrels (required by law). Whiskey is lagered in bourbon, wine, port or anything-barrels or whatever else. The taste of new oak gives bourbon a specific taste. I dont mean it's bad whiskey, just not mine. Islay whiskey is just my taste.

BTW i dont know if "lagered" is a english word, i mean "put for x years in a barrel"
