Tennessee Whiskey - Straight Bourbon Whiskey!

Tennessee whiskey is a subtype of bourbon whiskey, which can only be produced in the American state of Tennessee. Unfortunately, only a few distilleries still produce Tennessee whiskey. The most famous are Jack Daniel's, George Dickel, and Benjamin Prichard's. Some of the whiskeys from Tennessee go through the "Lincoln County Process," where the whiskey is filtered through thick layers of charcoal. Definitely something special!

Tennessee Whiskey – Charcoal-Filtered Tennessee Sour Mash

In addition to bourbon whiskey, there is a second distinct type of American whiskey – Tennessee Sour Mash. The distillation method and base ingredients of Tennessee whiskey are essentially the same as bourbon whiskey. However, Tennessee whiskey can only be produced in this state and undergoes a special procedure after distillation. This procedure is known as the Lincoln County Process, or charcoal mellowing. The fresh distillate is filtered through a thick layer of charcoal, which imparts additional flavors. Famous Tennessee whiskeys include Jack Daniel's, Prichard's, and George Dickel. While Jack Daniel's and Prichard's call their products Tennessee Whiskey, George Dickel uses the less common spelling Tennessee Whisky.
