Soul Style Sweet Potato Pie

A very simple sweet potato pie for the beginner pie maker! It is a little different from the usual, though, because it includes a bit of bourbon in it...Not to worry, the 'alcohol' will bake out and you'll be left with only an underlying tang of whisky...Trust me, it's VERY good!
