Yup, one of the requirements of Tennessee Whiskey is charcoal filtering. Other than that it’s pretty much Bourbon.We did the jack daniels tour the guide said the difference was their whiskey is charcoal filtered. Anyone done a bourbon tour I’d like recommendations
Here's some trivia: there is a county in Kentucky named Bourbon- I lived there for a short timeI thought that the term bourbon could only be used it it was distilled in Kentucky.
What happens if you reuse the casks?Bourbon is anywhere in America, and the recipes posted about 51% are correct. Some fun side notes. American whiskey is spelled differently than overseas, which is whisky.
It has to be aged 2 years but the better stuff is much longer. The amount lost in the cask to evaporation is the Angels Share, and the casks can’t be reused. But they often are for beer/wine/port.
It was the primary spirit of the Appalachian mountains because it was cheaper to transport by wagon than the same caloric value of raw dried corn, and the colonies mostly drank rum and hard apple cider.
It’s also typically distilled in a pot still with potentially a thumper, vs most white liquors being distilled in a continuous column still. That’s why it’s not as high proof as grain spirits like vodka (off the still).
It’s very delicious mixed with ginger ale and I’m having one now.

9 out of 10 casks used to mature scotch whisky are used bourbon or Tennessee whiskey barrels.What happens if you reuse the casks?
No whiskeys are made in Scotland .Just found this on the Internet so it must be true. Since I do not imbibe, I found it interesting just as general info. Your mileage may vary. Some of you very experienced members will comment I am sure. Thanks.
(many whiskeys are made in Scotland or Ireland)
