European Union leaders will consider imposing 25 percent tariffs on a range of US imports, including steel, clothes, and food, but not bourbon or other alcoholic drinks, following US President Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on imports from the EU.
Yet it 100% is made to the bourbon minimal conditions. So it’s Bourbon, deceptively (strong word here for the lulz) labeled as whiskey?
Ya, kinda and it is a pretty funny answer. Jack uses a slightly different process called the Lincoln county process. Basically, they filter it through charcoal made from maple wood.
That still meets the requirements for Bourbon, but they wanted to have their own “Tennessee whiskey” definition that includes the Lincoln process. Although, I don’t know who else uses it other than them and Dickle.
So, ya, bourbon subset that doesn’t want to be called bourbon because it’s Tennessee whiskey. Lol.
