The Lincoln County Process is a method used in Tennessee whiskey production, involving filtering newly distilled whiskey through charcoal made from sugar maple wood before aging. This process, also known as charcoal mellowing, removes impurities and smooths the whiskey's flavor, giving it a distinctive character. It's a key step that distinguishes Tennessee whiskey, like Jack Daniel's and George Dickel, from other whiskeys like bourbon.

If George Dickel Tennessee whiskey is Tennessee whiskey and George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey is bourbon
Then
Tennessee whiskey is bourbon
If Jack Daniel’s is Tennessee whiskey
And Tennessee whiskey is bourbon
Then
Jack Daniel’s is bourbon
(but not the Tennessee rye)

It’s not worth keeping anything north of Four Roses Single Barrel or Old Forester 1920 these days, if we’re talking good juice that’s readily available and not absurdly overpriced by the nerds. When traditional $20 bottles of swill like Weller Special Reserve are selling for close to $100 the market has jumped the shark.

They’re not bourbons. That’s the whole fricking point. Dickel makes a bourbon, but historically they’ve produce Tennessee Sour Mash whiskeys. They’re close, very much the same process, but also completely different. See the processes of Irish whiskey versus Scotch.

Almost always have Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve Double Oaked on hand. Both are my go to's for an old fashioned.

I’m done with this because you’re just wrong man. You’re trying so I’ll tip my cap. But you’re just wrong. JD is NOT a bourbon. And, tbh, so many JD drinkers think they’re drinking bourbon, so I get it. But, they’re just as wrong as you.

Blantons is my go to as long as I can find it. Which in Houston is incredibly difficult but I stock up when I go to Nola.
Where you "stocking up" on Blanton's in Nola?
Good question. First I've heard of this.

JD is a bourbon. Federal law states that the Tennessee whiskey label must be a bourbon made in Tennessee. It does not address the use of the LCP. State law requires the label Tennessee whiskey can be used only for whiskies that use the LCP, along with all other requirements for bourbon. The exception made for Prichard's only weakens your argument, imo (I wasn't aware that Prichard's was labeled Tennessee whiskey; did know it does not use the LCP).

Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace.

Bullet Rye
Garrison's Rye when I feel fancy and want to drop $70 on a bottle like an idiot.

Larceny BP and Weller Antique are the top two reasonable bottles I drink a lot of neat. For mixer WT 101 and VO Barton 100 are tough to beat.

Find on the JD website ANYWHERE they claim to be a bourbon and I’ll say sorry and quit my job job as an alcohol rep for the last 23 years. Again, it literally says Tennessee Sour Mash whiskey on the bottle:

Here you go. Besides, it literally reads Tennessee Sour Mash on the bottle. Tennessee whiskey and bourbon are both American whiskeys with a lot in common, but Tennessee whiskey undergoes an additional filtering step called the Lincoln County Process, which distinguishes it from bourbon, according to Nestor Liquor and Liquor.com. Both must be made in the US, primarily from corn, aged in new, charred oak barrels, and meet certain proof requirements, but Tennessee whiskey is specifically made in Tennessee and must be filtered through sugar maple charcoal before
Understand all this, but legally couldn’t JD be labeled as bourbon? I know there are additional requirements to be labeled as Tennessee whiskey.
