Just so you know, Glenlivet is on every AA mainline domestic flight.

But what about the Diet Coke? Seems every time I fly LHR-DFW or LHR-ORD, all of the Diet Coke is gone before the pre-landing snack is served. Always plenty of Diet Pepsi, though. You'd think they would notice this trend....

Touché. Sour mash whiskey then.
Although, I have just checked wikipedia and can't see which of the legal requirements for the appellation "bourbon " aren't met. Apparently being produced in Kentucky is no longer one...

Too much corn. And filtered. W L Weller is better anyway. But everyone seems to expect JD.
Charcoal Mellowing makes Jack Daniel's what it is – a Tennessee Whiskey and not a Bourbon. It refines our whiskey's rich flavor even before we fully mature it in barrels of our own making.

Nope - there is a minimum corn content, but no max. JD claims it's the charcoal filtering that nixes JD - I'm not sure where that violates the definition of Bourbon, unless it's somehow construed as a 'flavoring'. My husband drinks Scotch and Coke. Surely he belongs in the 9th circle of hell. :eek: HP |

Many Bourbons are in fact sour mash, all which that means the mash from a last batch is added to the new batch. Akin to starter for sourdough always being used in the next batch for generations. It doesn't really matter as it is not really very good and there are better real Bourbons available in the same price range. Notwithstanding its averageness, if you are near Nashville (used to be a great AA hub ex-YYZ) a side trip to Lynchburg for the tour is worth it. No samples. It's a dry county but they don't give samples to to other regulations and hassle. Apparently they could give samples under county law if they wanted to. They give you very nice lemonade. |
Good for you guys, I normally roll with just a club soda ;)

I've often seen 4. Anyway, as long as I get them.

If you read through the entire text of the link you posted, you will also see this: Regarding above, international agreements may stipulate that bourbon be at no more than 79% corn. But US law has no such restriction as can be seen at [link]. US law does not explicitly exclude charcoal filtering prior to aging for bourbon, so legally Jack and GD probably qualify as bourbon.
