NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The passage of several months since a heated legislative debate over the legal definition of Tennessee whiskey has done little to mellow the dispute between two global liquor giants and the growing number of craft distillers caught between them. Jack Daniel's master distiller Jeff Arnett on Thursday urged state lawmakers to stick with the state law enacted in 2013 that required any product labeled as Tennessee whiskey to be made from 51 percent corn, aged in new charred oak barrels, filtered through maple charcoal and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof. Arnett said the law passed at the behest of Jack Daniel's ensures minimum quality standards will be upheld now that the state has removed barriers to the foundation of more craft distilleries in the state. "It has been understood for 150 years that this is what Tennessee whiskey is," he said.
