Ok, what do you call it then? And if that’s not bourbon, then what do you call southern comfort?

Jack Daniels (along with George Dickel) is Tennessee Whiskey. It includes a carbon filtering process that's not part of the Bourbon process. That's why it's not Bourbon, and is considered Tennessee Whiskey. As for Southern Comfort, I call it yuck. And, no, it's not Bourbon. It's a combination alcohol that contains fruits and spices as well as whiskey. Again, something not part of the Bourbon process.

Jim Beam bourbon was orginially founded by Jacob Beam a German Lutheran immigrant who came to Kentucky in the late 1700s. Elijah Craig, a Baptist minister, is credited with inventing bourbon. It wasn’t until about the 1840s when there was a stigma placed upon alcohol consumption by the Baptists although they remain very fond of bourbon on the sly. Lutherans, meanwhile placed no such stigma on alcohol consumption especially since the beer breweries were mostly run by German Lutherans.
