Beg to differ with any and all those who aren’t getting it quite right.

Jack Daniel’s is a Tennessee Sipping Whiskey. It is not a bourbon. Bourbon is distilled in Bourbon County, Kentucky. If it’s not from Bourbon County, Kentucky, it’s not a bourbon whiskey, just like if the champagne is not from the region of France it’s something other than champagne even if it’s got the bubbles.

And the Chairman’s main alcoholic drink was Jack Daniel’s. If an interview quotes him mentioning something else, go hit up the punk who penned it ’cause he sure wasn’t talking to Frank.

Actually, this is musician slang from WWII and earlier. Frank didn’t invent it, he just talked like a musician.

Also, Frank drank Jim Beam, which is a bourbon, not Jack Daniels. You can find him mentioning that fact in interviews in Esquire and Playboy back in the day.

I agree with this:
One should never call it “Bourbon”, both the Bourbon afficionados and the fans of Tennessee Whiskey would be more than happy to put any ‘man’ in his place who does not know the difference.

Also I find it amusing how some ‘Men’ prefer to consume Whiskey, any kind of whiskey.
