Best bourbon?

I may be repeating--but if it's not made in Kentucky, it cannot be bourbon.

Good listening, er drinking.

Larry

Larry, actually that is not true. Bourbon can be made anywhere in the U.S.

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.

Larry

Larry - I shouldn't have called you on that as most every bourbon is make in KY - You are right! But is one of the stringent laws to define a bourbon whiskey.

Enjoy your bourbon and music! I just hope your not a KY Wildcat!

Jerry

Pops,
I am a Kentucky Wildcat fan--for half a century.
My dad, not really a sports fan per se, listening to Kentucky games on Armed Forces Network--as Kentucky had, even then a wide following of fans. (Rupp used to take the 'Cats into MSG for games and they quickly became fan faves).
One of my earliest, warmest memories was dad sitting in the kitchen in front of an old Emmerson Vacuum Tube radio, listening to UK play. 'Whatcha doin' Dad?'
'Come over here and listen to this game with me.'
Well, sitting with one's dad, listening to the 'Cats, or Cincinnati Reds, Yankees--just bein' with one's dad--does it get any better.
That was the 'first time' as my friend and author John Powers says...the 'last time' was December of 1976--at our family Christmas party. Never saw him again--alive.

Great memories--some of my best ever Jerry.

Good listening,

Larry
