North Central NC | Jack, like it or not, is Tennessee Whiskey, NOT Bourbon.
Technically, by law, no whiskey made outside Kentucky can be legally called Bourbon.
It's also made differently than whiskey made in Kentucky.
If you like it, then drink it in good health, but don't confuse it with, or call it, Bourbon, which it is not.

"The difference between Tennessee Whiskey, like Jack Daniel’s, for example, and Bourbon is that after the spirit is distilled, Tennessee Whiskey is filtered through sugar-maple charcoal. This filtering, known as the Lincoln County Process, is what distinguishes Tennessee Whiskey from your average Bourbon, like Jim Beam. The name, Bourbon, comes from an area known as Old Bourbon, around what is now Bourbon County, Kentucky." | |
