8.  The “Mash” is piped through a system
of heated plates that evaporates the
alcohol.
 As alcohol vapours rise they are collected
and cooled in a condenser turning it back
to a liquid.
 The now clear whiskey, at this stage is
140 Proof Alcohol.

10.  Once distilled, the 140 proof whiskey is
filtered drop by drop through 10ft barrels
of sugar maple charcoal.
 This gives Jack Daniels its defining
colour and taste.
 This process distinguishes Jack Daniels
as a whiskey rather than a bourbon

 Aging of the whiskey is determined by
