They certainly sound.....interesting. But are they rooted?

According to federal law
And why does the federal law care about the specifications of bourbon? There are also strict rules about beer in Germany, but I'm still confused as to why the government cares. Does it have something to do with a copyright on the name? I can't imagine any court cases that would bring this up? Did someone sue because he got only 50% "bourbon"?

bring me champagne and bring me wine
Perhaps 'suelo is politely and steganographically modifying a Christmas-season quote from Good King Wenceslas, trusting that we will read it in its unexpurgated form: "bring me flesh and bring me wine."

But I think it was born in Kentucky.Thanks, Keiva! As usual, Nashian perspective comes through!  Jackie wins! You can put your tumblers away ladies! (Unless your up for a little recreational mixing).  And, yes, Jack Daniels is sour mash...I really should know that, but I haven't met Jack in a while. Could be some of the brain cells he confiscated along the way! But he was right there in the neighborhood, so I thought it only fitting he should give y'all a peep.

back to the original subject of "rooting" Would a foursome make a square root?

Well, really, it's apparent that Virginia has taken a beating because of limited point of view here. It's also clear from what Keiva posted that the original bourbon had roots in Virginia and was created by Virginians.
Please don't pfffffft! on Virginia--it's me home sweet home and it pains me to have it pfffffffted. Beware whiskey rebellions! I wouldn't pfffffft on anybody's state. These are cruel letters indeed. Heh, can you play 'em in Scrabble? How many f's are there in Scrabble?
Huffing and puffing,

There ain't no "f"s in "Scrabble" - leastways, not the way it's spelt here!

Clever response, Rhuby. I repeat with modification, since this is word play and fun, how many tiles with the letter "f" are in the game Scrabble?

Nay, Dub Dub, I disbelieve that. The last time I checked, the ONLY place that could make bourbon whiskey was Bourbon County, Kentucky.
Two of the best whiskies made in the US are, though, Virginia Gentleman and Fairfax County Gentleman, both produced by the A. Smith Bowman Distilleries in Fairfax County, Virginia. But they are sold as whiskey, not bourbon.

Who would love to have a sip or two of the Fairfax County Gentleman whiskey. It is (or was) a semi-private blend if I recall correctly.
Edited after reading hte rest of the thread!
I sit corrected by Keiva, who, as a officer of the court, is an honorable man and who seems to know whereof he speaks. But I still wouldn't mind a sip of FCG!
