I thought that too. After further reading it should say. It can only be called "Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey" if produced in Kentucky. Bourbon Whiskey is a process not a place name anymore. I also thought it was strange that the Federal Govenrment misspelled the the word "whiskey" as "whisky" all throughout the regulations regarding distilling it http://www.straightbourbon.com/27cfr5.pdf (have to go through mainpage and surf to faqs...sorry)

"Whisky" is the proper spelling for Scotch Whisky and others distilled in Wales Japan and Canada,and of course Scotland. "Whiskey" is proper for all others.
