Tasting Notes
Expect vanilla, anise, tobacco, caramel and crème brûlée, with hints of oak on a smooth, medium finish. Underneath it all, there’s a backbone of spicy rye that raises the standard of what Tennessee Whiskey can be.
What is Tennessee Whiskey?
Tennessee Whiskey meets all the same legal requirements as bourbon, which means it must be made in the U.S., must be made from at least 51% corn, and must be stored in new, charred oak barrels.
But Tennessee Whiskey raises those standards even more. While bourbon doesn’t have to be made in Kentucky—contrary to a popular misconception—Tennessee whiskey must be produced in the state of Tennessee.
Before barrelling, Tennessee Whiskey must be filtered through sugar maple charcoal: the famous Lincoln County Process. That extra step removes certain esters and congeners, compounds that can make whiskey feel harsh.
