Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey is a smooth whiskey produced by the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Its name comes from the distillery's founder, Mr. Jack Daniel himself, who began operations in 1866. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey has characteristics that bring it close to bourbon, but the fact that it is not produced in Kentucky and its distinctive features place it in a separate category. The peculiarity lies in the charcoal filtration process. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey is filtered drop by drop through a three-meter layer of sweet maple charcoal before aging. The process takes up to 10 days, during which the whiskey absorbs the essence of the charcoal, giving it that specific aroma and taste unique to Tennessee Whiskey.
