i know what your saying but technically Tennessee whiskey is bourbon
Actually, it's the opposite. Bourbon is a type of whiskey. The charcoal filtering process utilized by Tennessee Whiskey prevents it from being Bourbon.

Yep. All Bourbons are a Whiskey, but not all Whiskeys are Bourbon. And all Bourbon does not necessarily mean it is made in Kentucky.

and Tennessee whiskey is a type of bourbon... the Lincoln county process does not have anything to do with what you call it. the Tennessee distilleries are the ones that don't want to call their whiskey bourbon.
"Tennessee whiskey is straight bourbon whiskey produced in Tennessee.[1][2][3] However, most current producers of Tennessee whiskey disclaim references to their products as "Bourbon" and do not label them as such on any of their bottles or advertising materials."

Yep.
IIRC, to be Bourbon it must be made from a mash of at least 51% corn, be at least 80 proof, and aged at least 3 years in new, charred white oak barrels.

Section 5.22 of Title 27

-Distilled at less than 80% alcohol/volume (160 proof)
-Stored in a new, charred, white oak barrel at a maximum of 62.5% alcohol/volume (125 proof) for at least 2 years
-The original color and flavor of the whiskey can not be filtered or altered in any way
-Must be produced and stored (for at least one year of the aging) in Kentucky to be called Kentucky Bourbon

yes
The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits (27 C.F.R. 5) state that bourbon made for U.S. consumption[2] must be: made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn;[3] aged in new, charred-oak barrels;[3] distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume);[3] entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume);[3] and be bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume).[4] Bourbon has no minimum specified duration for its aging period.[5] Products aged for as little as three months are sold as bourbon.[6] Bourbon that meets the above requirements, has been aged for a minimum of two years, and does not have added coloring, flavoring, or other spirits may (but is not required to) be called straight bourbon.[7] Bourbon that is labeled as straight that has been aged under four years must be labeled with the duration of its aging.[8] Bourbon that has an age stated on its label must be labeled with the age of the youngest whiskey in the bottle (not counting the age of any added neutral grain spirits in a bourbon that is labeled as blended, as neutral-grain spirits are not considered whiskey under the regulations and are not required to be aged at all).[9] Bourbon that is labeled blended (or as 'a blend') may contain added coloring, flavoring, and other spirits (such as un-aged neutral grain spirits); but at least 51% of the product must be straight bourbon.[10][11]

So the only thing "incorrect" is the third bullet point and it should have clarified that it was a requirement to be called "straight"?

again, the only age requirement is that it must be aged 2 years to be called straight bourbon. bourbon that is not "straight" has zero age requirement.
i responded to a post that stated "to be called bourbon....", not "to be called straight bourbon...."

"Jack", or Tennessee Whiskey is not stored in maple barrels. It is filtered through maple charcoal before being stored in new oak barrels. That is the Lincoln County process. The Lincoln County process has nothing to do with if it is bourbon or not.
