Mix flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Combine sugar, shortening and water in a medium sized pan. Heat, stirring until sugar melts and mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate pieces and vanilla until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in flour mixture and walnuts. Spread evenly in greased 9 x 9 inch pan.

Bake in a moderate oven (325 degrees) for 30 minutes or until shiny and firm on top. Remove from oven; sprinkle bourbon over top; cool completely. Spread white frosting evenly over top; chill until firm. Spread chocolate glaze over frosting; chill. Cut in squares. Keep refrigerate until ready to serve.

Chocolate Glaze: Combine 1 package (6 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate pieces and 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening in the top of a double boiler. Set over hot, not boiling water until melted.
