 Whisky & Barrels
Many people think that whiskey must be aged in American white oak barrels, and indeed, all American whiskeys that we know of do spend their adolescence in that particular variety of oak since the configuration of the grains make it ideal for holding liquid.
When the whiskey is in the aging houses, it filters through that charcoal as it expands and contracts with seasonal temperature changes, or in certain cases, by artificially raising and lowering the temperature in the warehouse.
We have tasted Tennessee whiskey straight off the still, and again after the mellowing process and can vouch for the fact that it is this leaching over sugar-maple charcoal that gives the Tennessee whiskey the wonderful "sooty sweetness" that is not present in bourbons.

The filtering is a charcoal mellowing process known as the "Lincoln County Process." This involves "slowly dripping the newly made whiskey through giant containers hard-packed with 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal (it must be charcoal).
The process takes ten days, and during this time the whiskey absorbs the essence of the charcoal, refining the spirit and giving it a unique flavor and aroma." The liquid is then poured into white oak barrels (that have been charred on the inside) for aging.
