Ya, that's because it's not Bourbon. Which kinda proves the point, right.

Lol, what? You are just riding on some xenophobia tip or something. You know the fact that there is a ton of American whiskey that is not called bourbon kinda disproves your whole prejudice, right? Whatever, keep stewing in it I guess.
Yes, it must be made in the us. Scotch also has to be made in Scotland. But nobody is out here saying it's Scottish ego. They just know the flavor profile of scotch. But you can make similar things elsewhere, true.
No, not all whiskeys are required to be fermented in a new charred oak barrels. That's what produces the typical smokey flavor associated with bourbon. All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. That's like saying all other grain whiskey that doesn't use corn is Scotch.
Xenophobia is a hell of a drug.
This is Lemmy, nothing is a joke.
Straight bourbon is required to be 51% corn, aged in chared oak barrels for at least 2 years, and must be at least 80 proof.
Of course none of that makes it better, because it's just preferences like anything else anyway. But bourbon is its own thing.
It doesn't work like that at all. Not everyone who smokes has a pack a day habit. It varies wildly and doesn't require some uniform steady state.
Someone who has a morning cigarette just wants a morning cigarette. Social smokers may not even smoke everyday.
It's just that those who DO make the habit more frequent, pack a day etc., will maintain THAT level.
Those who use vaporizers are able to create different patterns because of the nature of the device. Doesn't have a finite time limit like a single cigarette and differing nicotine amounts, etc.
Anyone with basic reading comprehension knows that calling out your dumb ass statement does not equate to anything of the sort. Which is exactly what happened the last time your stalker ass pulled this dumb false equivalence shit. Get a life.
Like sampling?
Ya, kinda and it is a pretty funny answer. Jack uses a slightly different process called the Lincoln county process. Basically, they filter it through charcoal made from maple wood.
That still meets the requirements for Bourbon, but they wanted to have their own "Tennessee whiskey" definition that includes the Lincoln process. Although, I don't know who else uses it other than them and Dickle.
So, ya, bourbon subset that doesn't want to be called bourbon because it's Tennessee whiskey. Lol.
