Bill uncorks a brawl over interstate sale of alcohol – Los Angeles Times

This was the most important bit to me:

“Bourbon makers fear that states would allow local distillers to brand their products as bourbon by overriding federal law that states a whiskey can be labeled as bourbon only if it is made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels.”

Sell plain old whiskey as bourbon?

Blasphemy!

Treason!
