Under Tennessee state law, most producers of this spirit must make it inside the state and put it through a charcoal filter step called the Lincoln County Process. Jack Daniel's is the best-known example. George Dickel, however, produces much of its rye whiskey under contract in Indiana. Which spirit is being described?

Question

Accepted Answer

Tennessee whiskey. Tennessee whiskey must by law be produced in Tennessee and, for all but one brand (Benjamin Prichard's), filtered through charcoal via the Lincoln County Process before aging. Much of George Dickel's rye whiskey is produced under contract in Indiana and then trucked to Illinois for filtering and bottling.
