Bourbon is essentially carb-free neat; the macros only climb once you add cola, syrups, or sweet cocktail mixers.

Use top-score bourbons as your baseline for neat or on-the-rocks pours and skip the sweetened builds when macros matter.

Top examples right now: 1792 Small Batch Bourbon, Angel's Envy Bourbon, Baker's 7 Year Bourbon
