Absolutely. Bourbon is just regular whiskey, usually distilled in Kentucky. There are a few rules for the way it is made in order for it to be called "bourbon," however, it is still just primarily a corn whiskey.
A whiskey can only be called a Bourbon if it meets several requirements. 1. It must be made in the United States. (it is not required to be made in Kentucky as commonly supposed as there are bourbon distilleries in Virginia, Tennessee, and small bourbon distilleries elsewhere too). However bourbon, like the name Whiskey (spelled with an "e") is limited to the United States. 2. The raw alcohol must not have additives and must be stored in only a charred oak barrel for a minimum of two years. 3. The grain content can vary but must have at least 51 percent corn. 4. It cannot go into the barrel above 125 proof, and the best whiskey is diluted to between 40 and 45% alcohol.
The ingredients in the Four Horsemen cocktail are 1 part Bourbon whiskey, 1 part Tennessee whiskey, 1 part scotch whiskey, and 1 part Irish whiskey. These are all mixed into a shot glass and drank straight without ice.
Before I answer the question let medifferentiate between Scotch and a Whiskey..Scotch is a whiskey from Scotland, and whiskey is written as whiskey in US. Let me explain it with the help of an exampleSparkling wine produced in Champagne region of France is strictly called Champagne.Coming to the question Bourbon can never be a scotch because it is an American whiskey, therefore Black Label can never be called a Whiskey..because it is a Scotch, Produced in Scotland.Some other examples of American Whiskies areJack Daniels,Jim Beam.Some other Scotch areTeachers,Glennmorangie (Single Malt)Famous Grouse (Single Malt) and the list goes on...khulbedeepak@gmail.com

Bourbon is a "protected designation" ... in order for a liquor to legally call itself bourbon, it must be produced according to certain specifications. One of these is that it be made in the United States ... anywhere in the United States, not just Kentucky.However, bourbon is so strongly associated with Kentucky that probably 95% of the bourbon produced comes from there; most distilleries outside that state call their produce "whiskey" instead, even if it's made in exactly the prescribed manner for making bourbon.An example would be Jack Daniel's, which would legally be entitled be called "bourbon" if the Jack Daniel company didn't prefer the designation "Tennessee Whiskey" instead.Jack Daniel does charcoal filter their spirits, and most bourbon makers do not... the definition of bourbon neither requires nor prohibits this, and a few products sold as bourbon arecharcoal filtered.
Rye versus BourbonNo.Rye whiskey (or whiskey in the U.K.), which is making a bit of a comeback in popularity, is made from rye, the same grain used in rye bread, whereas bourbon is made primarily from corn. I say "primarily" because to be called Bourbon it must be made from a grain mix that contains at least 51 percent corn. Other grains, such as wheat, barley, and rye, are permitted in the mixture. The better sipping bourbons use more corn.
The New Frontier.
Because it contains bourbon and is over 2 1/2 % sugar by volume.
No. There are several bourbon distilleries outside Kentucky - including two in central Texas, Garrison Brothers and Ranger Creek. This being said, no product made outside the U.S. can legally be called "bourbon".
