Honestly that would make more sense to me since it was fairly spicy and had almost some mint tastes at times. I just figured it was a wheat since it was Bernheim and the mellowness for a 20 year made sense.
im telling you, I thought it was a rye mash bill. let me try to find where I read that...

Those are bourbon. All Tennessee Whiskey by definition is bourbon. The only difference is Tennessee Whiskey has be be made in Tennessee and most of it is charcoal filtered.

I thought the charcoal mellowing disqualified it from being Bourbon?

nope
The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits (27 C.F.R. 5) state that bourbon made for U.S. consumption[15] must be:
Produced in the United States[16]
Made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn[16]
Aged in new, charred oak barrels[16]
distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume)[16]
Entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume)[16]
Bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume)[17]

And it starts with a soured mash.

I thought to be bourbon, it can't have any flavoring added. The charcoal imparts a flavor, disqualifying it from being bourbon.

FYI: Both Orphan Barrel selections arrived on shelves this morning at Alexanders on Highland.

I have been getting my bourbons from Caskers on line. (Blantons and Four Roses Single Barrel are my favorites). Is there any place in Baton Rouge that carries a wide selection of select bourbons. I really like the single barrels over the blends and proofed.
