Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon whiskey (; also simply bourbon) is a Aging (food), barrel-aged American whiskey made primarily from corn (maize). The name derives from the Kingdom of France, French House of Bourbon, although the precise source of inspiration is uncertain; contenders include Bourbon County, Kentucky, and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, both of which are named after the House of Bourbon.Kiniry, Laura.Where Bourbon Really Got Its Name and More Tips on America's Native Spirit". ''Smithsonian (magazine), Smithsonian''. June 13, 2013. The name ''bourbon'' might not have been used until the 1850s, and the association with Bourbon County was not evident until the 1870s. Although bourbon may be made anywhere in the U.S., it is associated with the Southern United States, particularly Kentucky. One reason for this association is the romanticized advertising in the 1990s of bourbon as a product of Kentucky with rural, Southern origins.

Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey is straight whiskey produced in the U.S. state of Tennessee. Although it has been legally defined as a bourbon whiskey in some international trade agreements, most current producers of Tennessee Whiskey disclaim references to their products as "bourbon" and do not label them as such on any of their bottles or advertising materials. All current Tennessee whiskey producers are required by Tennessee law to produce their whiskeys in Tennessee and – with the sole exception of Benjamin Prichard's – to use a filtering step known as the Lincoln County Process prior to aging the whiskey. Beyond the perceived marketing value of the distinction, Tennessee Whiskey and bourbon have almost identical requirements, and most Tennessee Whiskeys meet the criteria for bourbon. In the early 1820s and into the 1890s, there was significantly more whiskey being produced in America in the northeast than in Tennessee and Kentucky, yet, the adoption of using charred oak b ...
