∙ 13y agoNo, this is an urban myth - though popularly believed, and vehemently defended. There are reportedly a few bourbon producers in Indiana and Virginia; and recently, Texas has added a couple, as well: Garrison Brothers in Hye, and Ranger Creek in San Antonio. What is true is that no product made outside the U.S. can be called bourbon. Bourbon must also be aged in new American oak barrels, distilled to no more than 160 proof, made from grain that is now less than 51 percent corn and must contain all natural ingredients. Miss any of those requirements and it is only whiskey.

Bourbon is a type of American whiskey predominantly made in Kentucky. It is made of a blend of different grains, with the bulk of the grain alcohol coming from corn, and grains such as malted barley, rye, or wheat making up the rest. Federal standards, issued by Congress in 1964, stipulate that bourbon must be a grain mixture made of at least 51 percent corn, produced in the United States, and distilled to no more than 160 proof, with nothing other than water added to the mixture (aside from yeast). It must also be aged in new, charred-oak barrels, among other requirements.
