Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until fluffy. Alternatively, use a large mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest. Scrape down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour, alternating with the sour cream. Then add the bourbon.
Coat a bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack before inverting onto a cake plate.
