No one is saying THEY claim to be bourbon. They label their whiskey TW because they want to. You don't HAVE to label your whiskey bourbon just because it meets the federal government's definition of bourbon. However, their whiskey IS a type of bourbon, according to the federal government. And I've seen interviews with Chris Fletcher who states they COULD label their whiskey bourbon.

Nope. It’s why they don’t call themselves a bourbon. Don’t you think that with the massive bourbon fad happening in the past 4 years, if they could legally call themselves a bourbon they would? Like, everywhere, all over their marketing.

Neither the wife unit (no pics) nor I am into Bourbon, my friends/family who are into it know to bring their own or else they have to drink really nice single malt scotch (five or six varieties). If I cared enough, I’d ask someone who was visiting what bourbon they liked and get it for them. I don’t
But like…why take the time to type all this out just to be a bag of dicks and tell us you and your lame arse wife don’t like bourbon?

You know, I’ll give in. On a Federal level, maybe JD meets the requirements to be called a bourbon. One could argue that the additional filtering through, I think it’s cherry wood charcoal, changes the flavour of the original, out of the barrel, product. Idk. I will say that JD chooses to call themselves a a Tennessee whiskey because they think that additional filtering mellows their product and makes them unique to the bourbons of KY. At the end of the day, I’m not saying it’s bad whiskey. I’m not telling anyone to not drink it. I’m only saying that I’ve been told ad nauseam that it’s not a bourbon, and JD itself considers itself apart and superior to bourbon.

JD is bourbon, period.

I usually have a bottle of Makers and a bottle of Bulleit Rye on the bar, along with some others that rotate depending on availability. Right now, that
includes Blantons, Saint Cloud, and Garrison Brothers Honey.

They “literally” could, “Tennessee Whiskey” is just marketing.

Beginning to think this is a fake bot account or something. And it's maple wood charcoal, not cherry.
No, they do not want to call it 'bourbon' - 26:50 mark:

Benchmark Full Proof and Wild Turkey 101
This works
Actually all the Benchmark series pretty good for the $20 - $25 per bottle bourbon drinker, especially the FP and Bonded.

With the Rare Breed, not sure there's a better bourbon to have if you can have only one that's available. Haven't had the PW.

First of all, I haven’t been personal or called anyone names. Secondly, it’s not labeled Tennessee whisky because it’s a marketing gimmick. It is Tennessee whisky. I’ve said from the get go that you can drink it, it’s fine whisky, and have fun. But in every concept of the legal definition of Bourbon, it’s not. I don’t give a shite enough to keep up with this. I’ll just know that I know more than you. Enjoy your Tennessee whisky and have a nice weekend. I’ve been selling booze for 23 years. I’ll let you in on one, JD isn’t bourbon.
