Hi John,

Forgive early-morning responses!  Of course, I was thinking of Jim
Beam, not Jack Daniels.  The Jim Beam in the bottle may come from
their Boston distillery, their Clermont distillery or a mixture of the
two.  Speaking of Tennessee whisky, though.  It is my understanding
that although it is called Tennessee whisky, it was not always
distilled in Tennessee.
