Merle's Kentucky Bourbon Pie

I think Granny got this recipe from Capt. Jones's family, and his father was a Kentuckian. Don't hold me to that, though. Maybe she just needed to use up some booze. I prefer the first story.
The first time I made it, a nice 75-year-old man proposed marriage to me. If I had realized then how difficult it actually would end up being for me to find a husband, I would have accepted. Hindsight's 20-20. Enjoy the pie.
