Also, jack isn't considered bourbon because they don't use NEW charred oak barrels.


The reason Jack is considered Tennessee Whiskey and not bourbon is because they use the lincoln county method of filtering it through charred maple. it has nothing to do with the barrel

10 feet of charcoaled sugar maple to be exact. And yes, that is what makes it different.

All Bourbons are a Whiskey, but not every Whiskey is Bourbon.

So you're saying that's better than the West Virginia method of filtering through old car radiators?

I'll have to think on that a bit.
