The only place I really don't is rumsville. In my youth any swill would do. My belief if I am going to drink, why fuck around? Drink something real

If you have not tried it. Why not try and see.

You are totally wrong dude. This came directly from the expert at Buffalo Trace Distillery.I think he knows a lot more about Bourbon and corn whiskey than you do. Originally Posted by Oralist

Well, the "expert" at Buffalo Trace must be an expert on everything except "Tennessee Whiskey". In 2013, the Governor of Tennessee signed a bill defining the process for liquor produced in the state and labeled as "Tennessee Whiskey". One of the requirements is that the mash bill must be at least 51% corn (it also includes the basic bourbon requirements of new oak barrels, charring, etc.). Since Jack Daniel's markets its products as "Tennessee Whiskey" and puts "Tennessee Whiskey" on the label, you can be assured that there is at least 51% corn in the mash bill.

BTW, Jack Daniel's met all the requirements before the bill was passed. Their mash bill has been dominantly corn since they started production.

Buffalo trace is made in Kentucky.....just outside of Louisville.

So let's add the LPMOW BustyBiracial(allegedly) to the list. AGAIN!

Jack Daniels is called a Whiskey and not Bourbon because.... wait for it.... its not made in Kentucky. In order to be considered Bourbon, it has to be made in Kentucky. The guy at Buffalo Trace is an idiot.

Close, but no cigar. The guy at Buffalo Trace may still be an idiot, but bourbon can be made in any State. Bourbon is federally defined by its process, not its location of manufacture. Essentially, it is defined by Federal regulation as a distilled spirit containing 51% or more of corn in the mash, and aged for at least 2 years in charred barrels made from new American oak. Kentucky just happens to be where most of it was historically made. Now there are bourbon manufacturers located in several States. Even the Kentucky boys have gone to aging some of their bourbons in barrel houses located in other States.

THE FIVE BIGGEST BOURBON MYTHS
Posted on May 13, 2013


Bourbon is undeniably on a major roll. Over the last few years, sales of the whiskey have shot up around the world. While we love that bars and stores now boast big selections of the spirit, we still hear plenty of misinformation about the liquor. So to set the record straight, we’ve debunked some of the most common bourbon myths. Cheers!

JACK DANIEL’S IS BOURBON.
An easy bar bet to win is to ask your friends to find the word “bourbon” on a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. You’ll stump them every time, since the spirit is a Tennessee whiskey, not a bourbon. What’s the difference? Jack Daniel’s goes through a special charcoal-filtering process before it’s put into barrels.

ALL BOURBON IS MADE IN KENTUCKY.
While most bourbon comes from the Bluegrass State (according to the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, 95 percent of the planet’s supply is born there), by law the alcohol can be distilled anywhere in the United States. And we’ve tasted bourbons from across the country, like those from Upstate New York’s Tuthilltown Spirits and Chicago’s Few Spirits.

OLDER BOURBON IS BETTER.
Nearly every week, we’re asked about super-premium and super-old bourbons such as Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 23 Years Old and Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old. Though these bottlings are beloved by bartenders and drinkers, they are really the exception and not the norm. Older bourbon isn’t necessarily better: If the spirit spends too long in a barrel, all you’ll taste is the wood.

YOU CAN’T ADD ICE & MIXERS.
Don’t let anybody tell you how to drink your whiskey. You should enjoy it any way you want. And in fact, a bit of water helps open up the bourbon just as it does Scotch. If you want to add ice, use a jumbo cube that chills thoroughly but melts slowly. Bourbon is also, of course, delicious in cocktails. We particularly like it in a simple and refreshing Presbyterian and the classic Mint Julep.

BOURBON IS MADE FROM A SECRET RECIPE.
While there are many bourbons on store shelves, there are just three basic formulas for making the liquor. Knowing which ones your favorites employ will help you discover new brands that you’ll also like. Check out our list of recipes and corresponding whiskies, which we compiled with bourbon expert Bernie Lubbers.
