What's Jack Daniels made from?!
Answers: Holy Water
bourbon
a small bit of Jack and a bigger part of Daniel !
Water, malted barley and yeast. Fermented and distilled. The clear spirit is left to mature in oak barrels.
Standard No7 40% proof. Go for the Silver select single barrel 50% proof.
Jack Daniel's, is not considered a bourbon because it is charcoal-mellowed -- slowly, drop by drop, filtered through sugar-maple charcoal -- prior to aging, which many experts say gives it a different character. The process, called the Lincoln County Process, infuses a sweet and sooty character into the distillate as it removes impurities. But up to and after the charcoal filtering, the Jack Daniel's production is much the same as any other Bourbon. Jack Daniel's and George Dickel are two fine Tennessee Whiskeys though neither can be called bourbon
? "diamond dog" doesn't know proof from alcohol content. 40 %alcohol content translates into 80 proof, and 50% alcohol content translates into 100 proof ?
"Sour Mash" = Sour mash is the name for a process in the distilling industry, similar to the making of sourdough bread. It was developed by native Kentucky chemist, Dr. Jason S. Amburgey, while he was working at the Old Oscar Pepper Distillery (now the Woodford Reserve Distillery) in Woodford County, Kentucky.
It is not a type or flavor of whiskey as is commonly thought. When a whiskey is sour mash, a portion of the old or "sour" mash is added to the new mash. (The old mash is also called "feed mash" because the old grains are used as an ingredient in animal feed.) The mash is the mixture of grain and hot water that the actual whiskey is made from. The sour mash process is done to improve the consistency and quality of the liquor so that every bottle tastes as close to the same as possible. The acid introduced by using the sour mash controls the growth of bacteria that could damage the whiskey. Sour mash is popular in bourbon whiskey and Tennessee whiskey. Some popular examples of sour mash whiskey are Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam.
Bourbon
Bourbon whiskey is made from at least 51% corn. And by congressional proclamation, can only be made in the US.
Bourbon was first processed in Kentucky in the late 1700's, and shipped down the Mississippi from a port in Bourbon county. In those days it was originally referred to as "Whiskey from Bourbon", and of course it is easy to see how this eventually got shortened down to simply be Bourbon.
A night of passion between Mr. and Mrs. Daniels.

Who cares, pass the bottle. If you are really interested in JD go to the link www.jackdaniels.com where you can learn all about it and take a virtual tour of the brewery. Unfortunately you cannot get free samples.
