Is whiskey the same as bourbon?!


Question: Is whiskey the same as bourbon!?
I'm going to make a pecan pie, and it calls for bourbon, and all I have is Jack Daniels whiskey!. Will this give me the same result, or do I need to go get Bourbon!?

Answers:
history lesson: in order for bourbon to be called bourbon it has to come from bourbon,Kentucky!. if it doesnt come from that region it cant be called bourbon!. jack daniels doesnt come from that region so it cant call itself bourbon!. so it calls itself Tennessee whiskey instead, but its actually bourbon!.

jack daniels is bourbon, but its not allowed to call itself that!.

hope you understandWww@FoodAQ@Com

Jack Daniels will do just fine!. Bourbon usually indicates the whiskey was made in Kentucky!. The name comes from Bourbon County, Kentucky where it was first created!. They each taste a little different and if you are being a snob about the flavor of the pie It will taste a little different if you have had the recipe before but not so that most folks can tell!.
Only a real snob about booze can really tell much difference in whiskey in my opinion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Jack Daniels is whiskey!.

Bourbon is whiskey!.

Jack Daniels is not bourbon!.

For your pie recipe, though, it will be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if im not mistaken, bourbon is an american whiskey!. I think it was named for the area in which the whiskey was produced!. Jack Daniels will probably do fine for your pecan pieWww@FoodAQ@Com

Bourbon is smoother then whiskey, and the Alcohol will cook out faster, with the higher sugar content!. Use Bourbon unless you want the pie to taste like booze!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Apparently JD is not precisely a Bourbon, but it's an easy mistake to make!. See the reference!. Good question!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah!. Bourbon is a type of whiskey!.

But brown liquors are absolutely disgusting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Same family, not same thing!.
Bourbon much higher qualityWww@FoodAQ@Com

bourbon is a form of whiskey (Rye, Scotch, blend, etc)!. if your pecan pie calls for bourbon use bourbon!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Throw the jack bottle out the window (i'll have my mitt ready) and go get some bourbon!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
