[QUOTE="jefe1037, post: 196920, member: 2290"] With due respect, the ATF has very specific rules for Bourbon. --It has to be at least 51% Corn in the Mash --Aged In Charred, NEW White Oak Barrels(most of the old ones get cut in half and sold to the gentry as planters... look for these all over central kentucky on people's front porches and back decks) --Made in the USA --Multiple proof requirements based on distillation strength, barrel strength and bottling strength. For the ATF to allow Bourbon to be printed on the Label, these are the criteria to be met. Kentucky is the traditional source, but that is because of the High Limestone content in the water with almost no Iron. (similar to scotland, go figure... the water is the real source of the character) Kentucky and tennesse share the same watershed, but Tennessee whiskey is "charcoal mellowed" rather than aged in charred oak barrels. This is not a strict labeling rule, just the twist on the rules to let jack daniels print whatever he wants Woodford Reserve has the best distillery tour... went on a bottling day, so we got to taste it at barrel strenght...WOO! Go to kentucky, bet on some horses, drink some bourbon, smoke a pipe in a tobacco field. It feels right.... drink a Bottle of Ale8 and get some Hall's Beer cheese and fried banana peppers for pro points [/QUOTE]
