Add half the cheese and cook until cheese is melted, stirring constantly. Add remaining cheese a small amount at a time, stirring constantly in a circular motion after each addition until cheese is melted. Pour bourbon slowly around edge of bowl. Pull cheese mixture away from edge of bowl and cook for about 30 seconds or until alcohol cooks off. Stir bourbon into cheese.
