What it is

Tennessee whiskey is a type of bourbon whiskey made in the state of Tennessee. It is characterized by a filtering process called the Lincoln County Process, where the distilled spirit is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before aging. This process is said to give the whiskey a smoother, mellower flavor.

Why it's used

Tennessee whiskey is primarily used as an alcoholic beverage on its own or in cocktails. In food, it's used as a flavoring ingredient, often to impart a sweet, smoky, or caramel-like taste. It appears in products like sauces, marinades, baked goods, and confectionery.

Health notes
