Sure.
I'm assuming there's an argument the other way, because most kosher stores sell these products, I just haven't heard it yet. All kashrus lists 'do not recommend' them.

Not a rayah to anything

The Sazerac company brands, including buffalo trace, blantons, eagle rare, pappy and many more, owned by the Goldring family, don't sell their chometz and thats where problems arise.
However the Heaven Hill brand(Parker's, evan williams, elijah craig), owned by the shapira family, sell their chometz and is kosher-see star-k list.
All other major bourbon brands are owned by non-jews.

With the shapira stuff, you have to compare when they started selling to the vintage of the bottle.

Shoooot E.H Taylor is owned by them (my favorite) and many many more!

I would assume anything that didn't have chametz in it would be treated the same as any other company but that's just my assumption, I could be wrong.
