Is Jack Daniels Bourbon?
Yes, but… While not labelled bourbon, these barrels meet all the legal criteria required to be called bourbon. So why is it labelled Tennessee Whiskey instead? Two additional criteria must be met for a Bourbon to be labelled Tennessee Whiskey… First it must be made in Tennessee. Second, after distillation, Tennessee Whiskey must undergo what is referred to as the ‘Lincoln County Process’ by filtering it through maple charcoal. Jack Daniel’s allows its whiskey to drip for six days in 10-foot vats, passing through charcoal that was made by burning maple wood that had been impregnated with 140 proof Jack Daniel’s whiskey, before being put in new charred oak barrels and aged for an estimated 4-7 years.
