Soak beans ahead according to package directions.
In a soup kettle or Dutch oven, crumble and cook sausage until no longer pink and lightly browned.
Add onion, green pepper, garlic and continue to cook until tender.
Add seasonings, water and presoaked beans that have been drained; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 to 1-½ house or until beans are tender.
After 45 minutes of cooking, add tomatoes, tomato juice and bourbon. (Please note: check chili often, additional water may be needed as beans cook and absorb moisture).
