    Jack is made in America, 80% corn, distilled at 140 proof, is barrelled at 125 proof, is aged in new charred oak barrels, and bottled at 80 proof. It is bourbon. Charcoal filtering/mellowing is an additional process, making Tennessee whiskey a type of bourbon.

    If you'd asked me, I would have said Whiskey because that's what it says on the bottle.

    I've never been a big drinker. I like the stuff but so far I've never been an everyday type of consumer. (At least not for long periods.) I toured the JD facilities and became enamored by the charcoal filtering. They led us up to the vats and let us take a big whiff. Gentleman Jack is JD that gets extra-charcoal filtered again after aging (If I'm not mistaken,) and just before bottling so it has even more of that charcoal flavor. Gentleman Jack was my go to whiskey for a few years and still has a place on my shelf but, Lately I've been sampling some great Bourbons thanks in part to the recommendations from you guys on the forum :)
