Elaboration
Jack Daniel's whiskey is often confused with Bourbon, as its distillation method is almost identical. The difference lies in the filtering process, which for Jack Daniel's is done through sweet maple charcoal, giving it its characteristic aroma and flavor.
The whiskey is made with groundwater from a cave in Tennessee and is subjected to a process called "charcoal mellowing," which involves filtering it through sweet maple charcoal, making it a Tennessee whiskey and not a Bourbon.
Finally, the whiskey is aged in handmade white oak barrels that are charred on the inside to release the sugars in the wood and give Jack Daniel's its flavor and amber color.
