then what kind of containers are used to store the bourbon?
Bourbon is stored in charred white oak barrels.

Which make for badass tomato planters after they've been used and cut in half.

The Barrels don't have charcoal flavoring... the actual corn whiskey is processed over charcoal, thus giving it that flavor. Jack is stored in oak barrels, just like all other whiskeys.

Jack is made from a spring that bubbles up from a limestone cave... NEXT!!!

And the sugar maple charcoal that it's filtered through before it goes in the barrel? It's an extra step that Kentucky bourbon makers don't use.
NEXT!!!

Processed is a weird word. It's filtered through charcoal.

That's doesn't make it not bourbon though. The only thing that makes it not bourbon is where it is made.

Wow I really never knew that, Jack just always tasted like it was the only one that was charred to me (I guess I should say overly charred). Next time I should do a quick Google search when I don't know what the frick I'm talking about

You said it's the exact same thing as Kentucky Bourbon. It's not. Because of that extra step.

I hate the charcoal flavor, that's why I don't drink that nasty shite.

That's because they add maple syrup, charcoal, and sugar before bottling it.

No, I said the only reason it can't be called bourbon is because of where it is made.
quote:
Bourbon can be made anywhere in the U.S., but all but a couple of brands are made in Kentucky. Only the state of Kentucky can produce bourbon with its name on the label. The name comes from Bourbon county in the central bluegrass region of Kentucky. This county was named in 1785 to honor the French royal family and was once the major transshipment site for shipping distilled spirits down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. Barrels shipped from there were stamped with the county's name, which then became the name of this kind of whiskey. Interestingly, there are no distillers in Bourbon county, Kentucky right now.

Okay? It's still not the same as most Kentucky Bourbons either because of it's how it's produced.
And Jack, well, isn't very good in comparison to most of those bourbons either.

Evan Williams and Jim Beam are Nasty as shite, and they are both bourbons.
It all about what you like and don't like in a sour mash whiskey. Not bourbon vs. whiskey.
