Although, I have just checked wikipedia and can't see which of the legal requirements for the appellation "bourbon " aren't met. Apparently being produced in Kentucky is no longer one...

Nope - there is a minimum corn content, but no max. JD
claims it's the charcoal filtering that nixes JD - I'm not sure where that violates the definition of Bourbon, unless it's somehow construed as a 'flavoring'.

My husband drinks Scotch and Coke. Surely he belongs in the 9th circle of hell.
