I think it's the other way around. To be a Bourbon a whiskey has to be produced in Kentucky. If it's made anywhere else, like Tennessee for example, it cannot call itself a bourbon. This is why Jack Daniels is called sour mash whiskey instead of bourbon.
ETA: I don't think it's actually a "law" that bourbon is made in only Kentucky, rather more of a tradition in the industry.
What makes a bourbon ar these things.
Produced in the United States
Made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn
Aged in new, charred American White oak barrels
distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume)
Entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume)
Bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume)
LINK For some reason wiki didnt have the italics.

When I saw the topic and where it was posted I knew it would be some interesting reading...and yall did not disappoint 
As said if mixing with sprite get some cheaper stuff...probably most anything would work becasue your masking it with sprite. Do yourself a favor tho and try one mentioned with a little water or on the rocks if its needed.

Yeah I remembered in the past seeing and hearing discussion about what can and cannot be called Bourbon and knew there were certain criteria that had to be met. I thought I'd remember hearing that one of the requirements was that it be made in Kentucky.
