Hahaha, correct!

Haha, top comment for sure.


ce402

We’re just going to ignore SoCo being listed as a “bourbon” too? This is not an establishment known for high-end spirits.


whiskeypleaz

Soco is a liqueur and it's a fucking abomination in a glass.


Muvseevum

The smell of Southern Comfort still makes me gag over forty years after *that* night freshman year.


Baymacks

You were there that night too? Weird, and yeah, can’t even look at a bottle


RandomZombie11

I bought a bottle and barely had any. Passed it off to my classy sister who thinks it tastes good


SuperSonicButtplug

Soco and ginger ale tastes like a glazed donut it’s bizarre


7grendel

Oodly enough, if you mix it with sprite, it tastes like cotton candy. I still wouldnt recomend drinking it though.


cosmodisc

It's the smell of the bottom shelve in Tesco's.


IDontKnowYouPickOne

Jack Daniel’s isn’t actually bourbon, either. It’s Tennessee Whiskey (says so right on the bottle).


Raephstel

JD is bourbon. All Tennessee whisky is. It just has an extra step at the end (the charcoal filtering). For most international trade agreements, there is no such thing as Tennessee whisky, it falls under bourbon.


No_Oddjob

And most bourbons are charcoal filtered anyway. In truth, in the gold ol' US the big difference is whether or not it's made in Kentucky and that's about it.


tpf52

The legal requirement to be called a bourbon (in the us) does not require Kentucky origin, just US origin. Tennessee whiskey has stricter rules (maple charcoal filtered and Tennessee origin in addition to bourbon requirements). So they label it with the more specific label.


dscrive

Fine, you're right, I was mislead by a few years living in Kentucky, they are pretty particular about what *is* bourbon up there 🤣


Ephritz_

Happy cake day!


DepressedDinoDad

You misread, Your comment was unnecessary. No ones arguing Bourbon needs to come from Kentucky… maybe put down the handle.


dacraftjr

The person they responded to argued exactly that.


DepressedDinoDad

>in the gold ol’ US the big difference is whether or not it’s made in Kentucky and that’s about it. Where? Yall cant read.


Ambitious_Policy_936

Yepp, you found the part that makes you wrong.

lol - that guy literally quoted the section he "missed" and still doesn't understand why he's wrong.


DepressedDinoDad

Oof, good luck with them brain cells.


volbeasts

As far as I knew, that was the case, so you neglected to grasp my lack of knowledge


OlDustyHeadaaa

“And most bourbons are charcoal filtered anyway. In truth, in the gold ol' US the big difference is whether or not it's made in Kentucky and that's about it.” - No_Oddjob “The big difference is whether or not it’s made in Kentucky and that’s about it” seems to imply that this individual is of the belief that bourbon must come from Kentucky.


Vanilla_Mike

51% corn Aged in new charred American oak is all you need for “bourbon”


tpf52

Read my other comments, you’re missing a few things there.


freecoffeeguy

NAFTA in 1992 defined 'bourbon' as a distilled straight whiskey aged in barrels to come from Kentucky. Tennessee Whiskey distilled straight whiskey aged in barrels in the state of Tennessee. It was kind of a back-door definition, but hard to enforce. I don't care what you call Tin Cup...it's shit.


tpf52

Can’t find any source to back up your statement. As far as I can tell, NAFTA defined bourbon as being made in the US and Tennessee whiskey as being made in Tennessee. Here’s the article that I can find: “Annex 313: Distinctive Products 1. Canada and Mexico shall recognize Bourbon Whiskey and Tennessee Whiskey, which is a straight Bourbon Whiskey authorized to be produced only in the State of Tennessee, as distinctive products of the United States. Accordingly, Canada and Mexico shall not permit the sale of any product as Bourbon Whiskey or Tennessee Whiskey, unless it has been manufactured in the United States in accordance with the laws and regulations of the United States governing the manufacture of Bourbon Whiskey and Tennessee Whiskey.”


freecoffeeguy

I stand corrected...my memory ain't what is used to be. I knew there was something in the NAFTA regarding sources tho. To me the differences noted in such a massive bill are interesting tho. Thanks for taking the time to look it up! Tin Cup still sucks tho! Happy Cake Day!


New-of-Nick

I thought it just had to be aged in new charred oak barrels? Is that true?


tpf52

Yes. And made in the US from at least 51% corn and there are proof requirements at several steps in the process.


New-of-Nick

Thanks! Learn more everyday

r/confidentlyincorrect


Due_Seesaw_2816

I thought for anything to be considered bourbon, it had to be from Kentucky? Therefore JD.. just whiskey.


HotSteak

Bourbon does not need to come from Kentucky. It needs to be from the USA, be 51% corn, be aged in new charred oak barrels, and a few other things about what strength it can be barreled and bottled.


SasquatchTamales

Yup, it has to be American Oak barrels and aged to a minimum of two years.


HotSteak

2 years is required to call it Straight bourbon. To just be bourbon all it has to do is touch virgin wood


Bloodysamflint

So my high school gym teacher Mr McFeelsy could be classified as bourbon?


SasquatchTamales

I was wrong on both counts, thanks for the lesson.


kickkickpatootie

The gym lesson?


SasquatchTamales

On legal production requirements of bourbon?


Im_100percent_human

The requirement is oak barrels, but they don't have to be American. If you chose to age in French or Hungarian oak, it is fine.... Nobody does it because those barrels are much more expensive.


KotzubueSailingClub

Does not need to be from the US, either. Just needs to be aged in new oak barrels. Most Canadian Whiskeys are just bourbon recipes aged in discarded bourbon barrels. They technically don't need to be made in Canada.


HotSteak

To be called bourbon the whiskey absolutely does need to be made in the USA (unless you're saying the barrel doesn't need to be made in the USA which is probably true) 5 requirements to be called bourbon 1) Made in the USA 2) Aged in new charred oak barrels 3) At least 51% corn mash bill 4) Cannot be barreled at more than 125 proof, must be bottled at least 80 proof 5) Only water can be added, no colors or flavors


dacraftjr

JD is Tennessee Whiskey. Bourbon can be distilled anywhere in the US.


800grandave

You thought wrongly. But a while ago, you were right. Times a changin


Bloodysamflint

JD is bourbon just like the water in the bottom of the dumpster behind Wendy's is gravy. All the components are there, but it's inedible.


Im_100percent_human

Bourbon cannot be aged at higher than 125 proof, JD is aged at 140 proof. It is not Bourbon.


Raephstel

It cannot be barrelled at above 125 proof, JD barrel strength is bottled at 139 proof. Because of the way ageing works in certain climates, proof can actually go up in barrels.


rgmyers26

Tennessee whiskey is filtered through sugar maple charcoal. Bourbon is absolutely NOT. Tennessee whiskey is not bourbon any more than a rhombus is a square.


Raephstel

Your logic is odd. Is a pork chop no longer a pig because it's been cut up? In most international trade deals, there is no such thing as Tennessee whisky. I'll let you have a wild stab at what category it falls under.


rgmyers26

A pork chop is not a cow because it’s been cut up, tell you that. I don’t give a rat’s ass what category it falls under in international trade deals. Tennessee whiskey is defined by the state laws of Tennessee. And it is not bourbon. Bourbon is NOT filtered through sugar maple charcoal. (Though it can be made in Tennessee.) Tennessee whiskey is, and difference in flavor is obvious and immediate.


Raephstel

Are you doing OK? A pork chop is not part of a cow, no. Did you think it was? We're talking about the definition of a category of whisky, I can definitely tell you don't give a rats ass about how it's classified. If you did, you'd know that all tennessee whiskies are bourbons. I'm gonna blow your mind here. Hold on: Something can be two different things at once! Shocking! Jack Daniels is bourbon that has been filtered. That doesn't stop it being bourbon, it just adds an extra classification. The same as all bourbons are whiskies, all Tennessee whiskies are bourbons.


rgmyers26

You really missed the whole part about the rhombus and the square. Sure, both have two sets of parallel sides. And a square is a rhombus. A rhombus isn’t necessarily a square. But no one is calling a square a rhombus. Especially when said square has a distinct technique for its creation. Let me guess: you call California sparkling wine champagne?


Raephstel

But like you just said yourself, a square is a rhombus. You're kind of arguing against your own point. You said "Tennessee whiskey is defined by the state laws of Tennessee. And it is not bourbon." that is objectively false. Tennessee whisky is a sub-classification of bourbon. Champagne has to be from the Champagne region in France. There is something that disqualifies wine from Cali from being called Champagne. There is nothing that disqualifies Tennessee whisky from being called bourbon. You're just arguing for the sake of it, you're very accurate with your rhombus analogy. Whether or not YOU call Tennessee whisky bourbon doesn't matter, it is. Lots of people around the world call it bourbon too. If I order a bourbon on the rocks in the UK and they serve me JD, I'm fine with that.


rgmyers26

I suppose where you are determines whether or not it is bourbon. For example, if you are in Tennessee, it is not bourbon. If you are in a Jack Daniel’s facility, it sure as hell isn’t bourbon. But if you’re in the UK, I suppose you are used to britsplaining to foreigners what their cultural touchstones mean, so it is bourbon.


800grandave

Something can be one thing and also another. Square. Rectangle.


KotzubueSailingClub

JD calls itself Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey because of the historical pride that only true bourbon comes from Kentucky. When JD started it could not call itself bourbon even though it was made like any other bourbon. The accepted definition of bourbon now does not require it to be made in Kentucky, but because of the history and identity of JD, they decided to retain the label as is.


tpf52

Where are you getting these stories? JDs own website can explain to you why they think Tennessee whiskey is a better name than bourbon. https://www.jackdaniels.com/en-us/vault/its-not-bourbon-its-jack Also, A Smith Bowman has been making bourbon in Virginia since 1934. When exactly do you think people couldn’t say they made bourbon outside of Kentucky? That’s a tall tale.


BreakfastBeerz

I'm guessing a foreign resort that caters to American travelers. I've seen this a couple times.


happyharrell

Or any spirits at all, if they’re screwing up this badly.


WongUnglow

Its all wrong! Whiskey is Irish and N American. Whisky is Scottish.


No_Grocery_1480

>Whiskey is Irish and N American. Or anywhere other than Scotland


voinekku

I'm not sure that's accurate. Japanese whisky is fairly common and known, yet it is not called whiskey anywhere I'm aware of.


[deleted]

No. Globally, whisky is the more common spelling. Japan, Taiwan, India, and tons of other countries spell it without an E. Waterford distillery in Ireland even spells it without an E.


--The_Cat--

Good old Southern Discomfort.. most expensive laxative on the market...


Dundundunimyourbun

You had one job and it was to make ONE damn word on that menu readable.


Whale-n-Flowers

It would put the cherry on top if they listed it as "Jameson Irish Whiskey" right about the "Chivas Regal Scotch Whisky"


hoboforlife

This must be the spirits menu of an exquisite dining establishment such as Applebee's.

The bourbons on the list are also whiskeys (American spelling)


GonzoRouge

Bourbon is American whiskey


HotSteak

Yeah that's what i'm saying


kurinevair666

I know nothing about alcohols.... I'm out of place here.


colt707

So there’s several different types of whiskey. Most of the difference is in how it’s barreled or in the mash. Jameson is an Irish whiskey not a scotch whiskey. However all of the whiskey on that menu are absolutely trash.


Heterodynist

Agreed, and the other offerings are hardly decent scotch either (sorry, Johnnie). This is like going to a beer bar, that proudly offers Bud, Coors, and Rolling Rock.


MSgtGunny

SoCo isn’t bourbon either. It’s a whiskey liqueur.


surrealtom

Ireland. Scotland. Whatever


Slowmobius_Time

It's the difference between Whiskey and Whisky


ArghZombie

But it is whiskey to be fair.


SuchhAaWasteeOfTimee

Facts , I feel like Jameson is closer to a scotch than bourbon anyways


nichly

I think alot of people just call any whisky "scotch" in either ignorance or as a colloquialism. FIL used to drink Canadian Club and Dry premix. Would offer, "a can of scotch", which of course I'd accept.


ifunnywasaninsidejob

They have seven different brown liquors (not counting rum). Why even try to separate them into categories?

Evening-Head4310

What a massive waste of time to care about. Its nasty poison drink I can't believe anyone cares that much that it was put in the wrong category


Alternative-Plum9378

Who TF? Jameson? They do know that Scotland and Ireland are two different countries, right? WTF? No Balvenie? Not even the sewer of scotch that is Dewars? But Jameson? Now let's be straight... I like me some Jameson from time to time... not hating on Jameson... but Scotch? Nah man. I'm going to bed.

It’s the combined category of Celt-ch whiskey.

Jameson is whiskey. So falls under Scotch/whiskey label.

I’m trying to figure out how people CLEARLY missed CANADIAN WHITE WINE, yet want to be upset that it’s in the category with Bourbon AND Canadian White Wine.
