What Is Tennessee Whiskey?

Tennessee whiskey is a legally defined style of American whiskey that meets all bourbon standards but must be made in Tennessee and filtered through sugar maple charcoal before aging—a process known as the Lincoln County Process. This filtration imparts a smoother, slightly sweeter character.

For the 2025 awards, judges assessed Tennessee whiskeys for structure, barrel influence, and balance. Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof distinguished itself by combining the boldness of full proof with the elegance of charcoal-mellowed spirit.
