tennessee whiskey on the discovery channel

just flipped on the tube and there is a program on whiskey making. They started in the barrel house and are going to a distillery after the commercials... Jack Daniels I think... Cool stuff to see....

I just watched one Monday night that I hadn't seen before that covered the grains more in depth than I have seen on other shows... It explained the differences between regulations regarding what constitutes different ratings... Also covered Canadian and Irish whiskeys, scotch, gin, and even vodka... Even had a bit on Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey... Great show... I think it was on Modern Marvels:Whiskey...

Kind of focused on major brands, but a very good production. I learned a few things: 'iron in water ruins the whiskey'. They even touched on aging and barrel rotation. With David Wondrich and Dale DeGroff on history and cocktails, respectively.
