Bourbon (as you say) is a protected designation of origin product, meaning that it has to be made in the US. It’s not on the PDO list on Wikipedia though, so it appears it is a separate designation, same idea though. Point being that you can boycott US products and still have Bourbon “style” whisky. Kind of like how some distilleries outside Scotland make Scotch style whisky, which is often very very good.
