Bourbon and motorcycles are why I have a perfect record of not killing anyone.

Add “Must be distilled in Kentucky” to the list of rules. I’ll drink to that!

I’m Irish and am hugely insulted by the existence of a bourbon day. *EVERY* day is bourbon day!

They missed one vital requirement, the water. Kentucky has pure water filter by limestone. The limestone leaves the good stuff, calcium and magnesium and removes iron which ruins a bourbon. I believe it also allows you to taste the unique flavors from the charcoal. If the limestone water was a requirement out of state whiskeys would not qualify as a bourbon.
I spoke to a distiller on a trip to Lexington, he said the best bourbons are from Kentucky and some parts of Tennessee because of the limestone filtration. The water is unique. He said bourbons from outside those areas either use local water industrial filtered to remove the harsh chemicals and the iron or they buy barrels of bourbon from different Kentucky distillers. They blend the bourbons, then market it under their own label. Best to stay with a bourbon from Kentucky. Lots to choose from. I recently saw bourbons for sale from distillers in New Jersey and one from Cali. My first thought was that old salsa commercial "made in New York City!" I suppose that if the harsh chemicals used to treat potable water in those regions are filtered out along with he iron they could produce a good bourbon with the right barrels.

Perhaps to celebrate the day, I will change from drinking rum to bourbon this evening.

IW Harper 15 is my go to.
The bourbon experts don't rate it very highly due to the lower proof, but I like it neat and smoooooth.
