Pops,
Having grown up in Kentucky, I had always heard that--up to and including a quote from a movie which I've forgotten, however, you're right--I'm wrong.
Checking just now, figures show that all is NOT made in Kentucky--I thought that, as it emanated from Bourbon County, (hence the name I'm guessing) that that was the reason. But no. Sorry to mislead.
However, according to what I just read, (assuming that's correct) 95% of all Bourbon is made in Kentucky.
Whisky is made in may locales, but generally, not emperically, Bourbon is made in Kentucky.
As my dad used to say, NEVER, NEVER make definite, emperical statements of absolute fact, NEVER. lol
Good listening, and good catch Pops.
