Tennessee bourbon is a type of American whiskey that is produced in the state of Tennessee. It is made from at least 51% corn and must be aged in new, charred oak barrels for a minimum of two years. Tennessee bourbon has a unique flavor profile that is often described as being smooth, sweet, and smoky. This is due to the fact that Tennessee bourbon is typically filtered through sugar maple charcoal before it is aged. This process removes impurities and gives the bourbon a mellower flavor.
Tennessee bourbon is a popular choice for making cocktails, such as the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan. It is also a popular sipping whiskey. Some of the most popular brands of Tennessee bourbon include Jack Daniel’s, George Dickel, and Maker’s Mark.
