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. <br><br>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.<br>

Since bourbon must be legally at least 51% maize, is it considered chametz gamur that many will not sell over pesach, or is it a ta'arovoes?<br>
<br>
(or, Do I have to finish that bottle of bourbon?)<br>
