A poem(?) I found in a nearly 100yo book

Some like wines; both white and red
And some like brews from grain.
Some like Scotch and Irish
And plenty choose champagne.

Rum by many is prefered
And brandy makes it's boast.
The Dutch and English like their gin
And ale goes well with roast.

Requests for rye on eastern states
Quite frequently are heard.
And the hill folk from the suthlands
Make corn a favorite word.

But to all those throughout the nation;
Both rural folks and urban,
The king of distillations
Is the the whiskey known as bourbon.
