What Sets Them Apart?

While both Tennessee Whiskey and Kentucky bourbon share deep roots in the American spirit tradition, key differences define their unique characters. Tennessee Whiskey, famed for its smooth finish, must undergo the Lincoln County Process, where it’s filtered through charcoal before aging. Kentucky Bourbon, on the other hand, prides itself on its rich, full-bodied flavor derived from its specific corn mash and pristine, limestone-filtered water.
