I recently corrected the Jack Daniels article on 27 Oct. 2010 by editing the reference to "bourbon whiskey" to simply "whiskey". The reason for this is simple. Jack Daniels is NOT bourbon, nor does it try to be. This can be confirmed on JD's own web site. Also, any bourbon maker will state the bourbon classification on their label. JD has no such labeling. Further, JD is filtered through charcoal which as I understand it disqualifies a whiskey from being bourbon just by that count alone. The reason is that bourbon rules as I understand them do not allow any flavor changes. Charcoal apparently changes the flavor, so it can't be bourbon on that count either. JD is constantly being promoted by everyone EXCEPT JD as bourbon. It will appear on store shelves in the bourbon section for example. I don't know how this started or when, but the error has been perpetuated over time to the point where it is (mistakenly) reffered to as bourbon by a large segment of the industry as a whole, and consequently by the general public. I merely wished to break that cycle with my wiki correction.
