You are correct....However it is the finest Tennessee Whisky made,especially #12 and Barrel Select,and worthy of sitting alongside the finest bourbons available.

Larceny - Darn good whiskey for $18. Add a couple of drops of water and it pairs nicely with a good vitola.

Yeah, yeah, I know, but frankly it's corn sour mash whiskey and everything about it is the same as bourbon except for the fact it's made in Tennessee. It's not like we're talking about Canadian or Scotch vs Bourbon. A rose by any other name.

Just picked up some Jim Beam Rye at the Marine Class Six for $12. First rye and had just a little sip earlier. Some on the rocks later for the true taste test.

Rocks?? No way bro. Mutes the flavors. Just put the glass in refrigerator for 5 minutes prior to drinking. After initial taste test then drink to your liking.

That's how I do it anyway.

I have morphed into liking wheated bourbons. Used to be able to Weller antique for a steal but my local place doesn't have it anymore. I have found Larceny for $25 and like it muchly. It's a wheated bourbon like weller and Makers Mark.

Me thinks that if Diageo wants to label Dickel as Tennessee whiskey it should not only follow the letter of the law, but also the spirit of the law. The mashing, distilling, blending and aging are all part of the manufacturing process. Sounds like they have found a cheaper way to blend the whiskey in Virginia and desire to use cheaper used barrels. But, they still want to call it Tennessee whiskey. I have bought my last bottle until this plays out.

See post #73

According to the article, Dickel is blended in Virginia. I'm thinking blending is part of the entire manufacturing process that begins at mashing and ends at bottling.

If what I read is correct in order to be Tennessee Whiskey it must be among other things manufactured in Tennessee. If it is blended out of state inwould think that would violate laws regarding branding it as Tennessee Whiskey. It's still good whiskey though.

As far as me not buying anymore, I'm sure I haven't bought my last bottle.

Kind of a whiskey noob here but I find the argument of where the whiskey is made dull at best. Can a recipe not travel over state lines. Can similar techniques not be used in other states. I don't get it honestly except for it being just another reason a state can brag it is better then another state.

They make the same argument with cognac. Has to be made in a certain region of france.
