[Avodah] Selling bourbon before pesach

[Liron Kopinsky]

This Shabbat Rabbi Revah in LA spoke a little about chametz gamur and he
said that whiskey too is chametz gamur but that many people still rely on
the Chasam Sofer and sell it because of the large hefsed.

He didn't mention anything about whiskey not being chametz gamur, so it
would seem that there would be no difference between whiskey and bourbon
then, as whiskey isn't necessarily 50% grain.
