I love bourbon. I genuinely believe that bourbon is one of a very tiny handful of food and beverage items that can be viewed as "world class cuisine" from the USA.

I will miss bourbon, now that I will never touch it again.

    Do brands like Jim Beam, which are manufactured in the U.S., but are actually wholly owned by Suntory Japan, count? I’m not meaning to troll, I really do wonder what people think. I live in Japan and enjoy Jim Beam (but not fascism) and I actually assumed incorrectly that it was produced here, as since it was acquired by Suntory, the price had significantly dropped.

    It cannot be bourbon unless it’s made in whatever area of the US. Just like it cannot be called champagne unless it’s made in Champagne France. Just like it cannot be called parmesan unless it’s made in a specific area in Italy.

    Sure there are nock offices but I am sure the bourbon people will be a little more strict with others making and hammering it bourbon.
