Ok here goes, not once did I see mentioned what I drink Jack Green Label, I love the stuff, you can only buy it in a states next to Tenn. I don't care for the Black label but the Green is good stuff. I keep mine in the freezer, still have about 6 bottles left, guess I'll be taking a road trip next spring.

Technically true IF the Tennessee whiskey adheres to the legal requirements of what is a Bourbon. But Jack Daniels doesn't call it's Tennessee whiskey 'bourbon' and Tennessee distillers that label their Tennessee whiskey as "Tennessee Whiskey" are often quick to claim it's a seperate style of American whiskey based on the use of the "Lincoln County process" even though some Kentucky bourbon is charcoal filtered (Erza Brroks and Old Heaven Hill) and some Tennessee whiskey (Pritchard's) isn't. To make it more confusing, NAFTA trade regulations recognize 'Tennessee whiskey' and define it but declare it a subset of bourbon. Regardless, Jack Daniels is swill. |

The barrel is empty. You get 250 bottles and an empty barrel on a skid. ETA- you can "buy the barrel" directly from Jack, possibly cheaper. Dickel also recently started a barrel program.

Quoted:
A Tennessee whiskey is by definition a bourbon. Just because it's charcoal mellowed doesn't change anything. The Lincoln County process actually might change the classification, if it mattered. (Since Jack Daniels doesn't market itself as a bourbon, it doesn't matter, so it doesn't come up.) Per 27 CFR 5.23 § 5.23
Alteration of class and type. (a) Additions. (1) The addition of any coloring, flavoring, or blending materials to any class and type of distilled spirits, except as otherwise provided in this section, alters the class and type thereof and the product shall be appropriately redesignated. (2) There may be added to any class or type of distilled spirits, without changing the class or type thereof, (i) such harmless coloring, flavoring, or blending materials as are an essential component part of the particular class or type of distilled spirits to which added, and (ii) harmless coloring, flavoring, or blending materials such as caramel, straight malt or straight rye malt whiskies, fruit juices, sugar, infusion of oak chips when approved by the Administrator, or wine, which are not an essential component part of the particular distilled spirits to which added, but which are customarily employed therein in accordance with established trade usage, if such coloring, flavoring, or blending materials do not total more than 2 1/2 percent by volume of the finished product. (3) “Harmless coloring, flavoring, and blending materials” shall not include (i) any material which would render the product to which it is added an imitation, or (ii) any material, other than caramel, infusion of oak chips, and sugar, in the case of Cognac brandy; or (iii) any material whatsoever in the case of neutral spirits or straight whiskey, except that vodka may be treated with sugar in an amount not to exceed 2 grams per liter and a trace amount of citric acid. (b) Extractions. The removal from any distilled spirits of any constituents to such an extent that the product does not possess the taste, aroma, and characteristics generally attributed to that class or type of distilled spirits alters the class and type thereof, and the product shall be appropriately redesignated. In addition, in the case of straight whisky the removal of more than 15 percent of the fixed acids, or volatile acids, or esters, or soluble solids, or higher alcohols, or more than 25 percent of the soluble color, shall be deemed to alter the class or type thereof. It could probably be argued that the sugar maple charcoal imparts a flavor and is therefore a flavoring material. Alternatively, it could be argued that the Lincoln County process removes constituents to a degree that it differentiates Tennessee whiskey from bourbon, and is therefore an extraction that requires redesignation. It doesn't matter, though, since JD doesn't bill itself as a bourbon. |
