Common misconception! There are rules when it comes to making bourbon, but location isn't one of them. Check out Koval bourbon from Illinois, and I'm sure there's plenty of good stuff coming out of Oregon and California.
Edit: It does have to be made in the US, not a specific state or county.
I bought a freshly dumped bourbon barrel from Woodinville Whiskey in Oregon.
Holy shit it’s gonna be like traveling with blue jeans in the 80s all over again. Isolationism sucks :(
