Tennessee Whiskey is distinguished from
its cousin, bourbon, by an extra
charcoal-filtering step in production, known as the Lincoln
County Process. This charcoal-filtering removes some
substances from the distilled whiskey, while adding other
flavors. Unlike bourbon (which could, theoretically, be produced in any state in the union), Tennessee Whiskey must, by law, be made in Tennessee. Go figure. Today, Jack Daniels is unquestionably the most recognized and popular Tennessee Whiskey around.

Other styles of American whiskeys come,
mainly, in two categories:
The first category consists of Canadian-style blended whiskeys, which became popular during prohibition when Canada was still legally distilling whiskeys, and thirsty Americans were happily (if illegally) consuming them.
Most of the others are blends of neutral grain spirits and whiskey, resulting in a blended spirit which cannot be called "Straight Whiskey". |
