Right. Right. Wrong.

The distillation is the same. The difference lays in the filtration. Tennessee whiskey is filtered though white sugar maple charcoal before it enters the barrel. This filtration really cleans the whiskey of heavy iso-aldehydes. This takes years of maturation when the
White -Dog Bourbon Whiskey first hits the once charred white oak barrel, but it does the same job, it just takes a few years longer.
Prooving once again that maturation is not a straight line, but is relative to the thirst of the drinker.

Linn - always happy to help!
Fair enough. I know what the differences are, but lump them into the one act of distilling, crafting, making (whatever) the whiskey.
