Tennessee whiskey

Tennessee Code § 57-2-106 reserves "Tennessee Whiskey", "Tennessee Whisky", "Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey" and "Tennessee Sour Mash Whisky" for spirit that is manufactured in Tennessee; made from at least 51% corn; distilled to no more than 160 proof (80% abv); aged in Tennessee in new charred oak barrels; filtered through maple charcoal before ageing; placed in the barrel at no more than 125 proof (62.5% abv); and bottled at not less than 80 proof (40% abv). The maple-charcoal requirement does not apply to a distillery that meets a narrow set of county-referendum and licensing-date conditions written into the statute. Transitional provisions refer to products on or after 1 July 2013.

Apart from the place and the charcoal filtering, the rules match those for bourbon.
