Best Answer

It depends.

Bourbon is a subset of whiskey. Other whiskeys include Tennessee, Scotch, Canadian, and Rye.

Using Scotch or Canadian whiskey in place of bourbon would not be advisable because of taste differences. If bourbon is not available, try a Kentucky or Tennessee whiskey like Early Times or Jack Daniels.

Happy mixing!

You can in mixed drinks as long as the Bourbon isn't featured. For instance, Manhattan's would be bad whereas Lynchburg Lemonades would be fine.
