for the information! thanks so much for taking the time to check out the blog, and then taking a moment to comment. It's always rewarding to know that people are reading my stuff and have connected with it. The whole Tennessee whiskey/ Bourbon whiskey debate will no doubt continue, and I think that most people will always consider the two to be different styles of whiskey... but from a legal definitions point of view they are definitely both in the Bourbon family! Part of the reason for me to write about cocktails and spirits is that it gives me a reason to do more in depth research so I get to learn and then share what I've found with anyone who'll listen (or read). This one was especially interesting as I thought it was a subject I already had nailed down, but while fact checking it I found new information. As you say, every day's a school day... only better because my school never let me sip a manhattan while studying! Thanks Andy, to be honest it took a fair amount of digging to get to what I hope is the truth about Tennessee Whiskey and its relationship with Bourbon... for almost 3 years I've been telling people that Tennessee Whiskey is a different category but it seems that it is actually a side branch of the bourbon family! I look forward to the next time we get to sip Kentucky Bourbon together! D Hey Dawid, thanks for checking out
