It depends on where the bourbon gets made. Very generally, the temperatures cycles vary a lot more more than in Great Britain. So the bourbon “ages” faster than Scotch or Irish whiskys. So bourbons have to be younger and that can make them somewhat sharper in flavor. Plus the requirement of using new oak barrels also cuts the time spent in the barrel.
I’m not even American but lol at calling triple distilled Irish whiskey is less bland than bourbon.
Irish whiskey is like the lager of whiskeys, about as bland as it gets
You guys don’t age your common bourbons long enough though.
