nice pic but JB is distilled in Tennessee. It isn’t REAL bourbon.
I don’t know about that. My bottle of Jim Beam says on the label, “Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Distilled And Bottled By James B. Beam Distilling Co. - Beam - Clermont - Frankfort, Kentucky USA.”
I don’t know if any of those locations are in Bourbon County, but it is made in Kentucky.
I think you are thinking of Jack Daniels. IIRC, it is made in Tennessee.
Beam is bottled in Frankfort, KY. And bourbon can actually be distilled outside Kentucky. It's the process one follows that makes it bourbon.
The reason Jack Daniels and George Dickel aren't considered real bourbon isn't because they're distilled in Tennessee, it's because of a carbon filtering process they use that's outside the bourbon 'process'.
