"Tennessee whiskey is closely related to Bourbon but there are a few differences; Tennessee whiskey must be produced in the state of Tennessee and is always filtered through sugar-maple charcoal. The filtering process usually takes 10 days to complete. Tennessee whiskey was recognised as a separate style by US government officials in 1941. There are only two active Tennessee Whiskey brands:
• Jack Daniel’s (Jack Daniel Distillery)
• George Dickel Whiskey (George Dickel Distillery)"

"The Taste: The taste descriptors for Tennessee whisky tend to parallel those of its Kentucky cousin. The distinction and the difference comes on the finish which is long, clean, and very, very smooth—a result of the final sugar maple charcoal filtration. Legally, Tennessee whiskeys could be sold as Bourbon; but the two Volunteer State distillers are proud enough of their “sipping whisky” to insist that the difference be known to all."
