[Avodah] Selling bourbon before pesach

[Ben Waxman]

To answer your question with a question - the only ingredients in matza is
wheat and water and that is no hametz (I hope). How can that be?

I don't know the details, frankly. I know that he examined the process of
how it is done today and that was his conclusion. I spoke with his brother
in law (also a rav) and got the info from him.
