In this May 24, 2005 photo, Bottles of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey are on display at a Kansas City, Mo. liquor. If it isn't fermented in Tennessee from mash of at least 51 percent corn, aged in new charred oak barrels, filtered through maple charcoal and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof, it isn't Tennessee whiskey. So says a year-old law here that resembles almost to the letter the process used to make Jack Daniel's. Now lawmakers are looking at amending that law so that some of the craft distillers that have sprung up in recent years can label their products Tennessee whiskey, a distinctive and popular draw in the booming American liquor business. The people behind Jack Daniel's see the hand of a bigger rival at work, however, the foreign-owned conglomerate that makes George Dickel, another famed Tennessee brand. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)
