JD may very well Not Be bourbon, because their process of maple filtration may very well remove in excess of 15% of its flavor. The only people who know that are the people working at JD, because the TTb does not require pre filtration (pre or post barrel maturation ) samples. As such, this entire blog string is pure speculation. this especially so considering that there is no defined quantifiable sensory test.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
