Regardless of your level of experience with whiskies, Tennessee whiskey provides something genuinely special for everyone.

What is Tennessee Whisky?

Whiskey produced exclusively in Tennessee is known as Tennessee whisky. This whiskey is made in America. Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey have similarities, but what sets Tennessee whisky apart is a special process known as the Lincoln County technique. By passing the whiskey through charcoal and then maturing it, this process provides the whiskey a smoother, more subtle flavor. This crucial divergence contributes to the distinctive essence of Tennessee whiskey.

For a whiskey to be legally labeled as Tennessee whisky, it must meet the following criteria:

• It must be produced in Tennessee.
• It must be made from at least 51% corn.
• It must be aged in new, charred oak barrels.
• It must be filtered through charcoal (Lincoln County Process) before being aged.

The Distinct Flavor of Tennessee Whisky

Tennessee whisky is celebrated for its smoothness and rich, robust flavors. The charcoal filtering process, which is unique to Tennessee whisky, mellows the harsh edges, allowing the rich notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak to shine. The result is a well-balanced whiskey that is easy to sip neat, over ice, or in cocktails.

Tennessee whisky often tastes softer on the palate than bourbon, with a more sweetness and smokiness. Subtle traces of spice are also imparted by the maturing process in fresh, charred oak barrels, making it a flexible whiskey that may be savored in a multitude of ways.
