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

Excessive alcohol consumption is linked to numerous health risks. JECFA has evaluated ethanol (the primary alcohol in whiskey) and established an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI).
