Bourbon Question from Calgary

I could have Googled my question or visiting Wikipedia but I thought it would be much more interesting to get insight from the 11 Warriors.

I have seen Bourbon mentioned quite frequently on this site and a whisky list at the downtown Marriott in Calgary (where I am spending the next few nights) triggered confusion on my part.  The hotel went through a major renovation and added a whisky bar in the new lobby restaurant.  It is a nice change from the prior restaurant as I have stayed here frequently.

The drink menu listed two pages of what they called bourbons, approximately 40 selections.  However, the list included Jack Daniels in various permutations, several ryes from New York, and even a Canadian bourbon.  Is bourbon a general category that includes products from other than Kentucky?  I always associated it only with Kentucky.

The whisky menu must be 10-15 pages long so it has quite the variety.

Thanks in advance for your enlightenment.
