You were fine the first time. Whiskey can be made from nearly any
grain, including corn. Bourbon is that subset of whiskeys which is
produced in Bourbon County, Kentucky in accordance with certain rules
and guidelines (which is why Jack Daniels, despite being very
bourbon-like in all other respects, is not technically, bourbon).
Of course, if maize were to be grown by a member of the Bourbon family
in France and made into a whiskey...
