Answer to Question 1

Alchemists were great contributors to distillation as they created potions, perfumes, and elixirs. In 1250, Arnaud de Villeneuve is said to be the first to distill wine in Francecreating a liquid he called eau-de-vie or in Medieval Latin, aqua vitaeboth meaning water of life as the alcohol was often thought to contribute to the virtues of living a long and fruitful life.

Answer to Question 2

According to a resolution passed by the U.S. Senate, Bourbon can be made anywhere in the United States, but it cannot be made outside of the United States. There are four defining agents that distinguish Bourbon from other American whiskeysBourbon must be:

 made from a mash that is at least 51 percent corn

 made from no other additives, other than water

 distilled no more than 160 proof, but enters the barrel at no more than 125 proof

 aged for a minimum of 2 years in charred new white oak barrels

Geographically, Tennessee is very close to Kentucky; therefore, it makes sense that the whiskey made in the two states would maintain similar characteristics. The main distinction between the two spirits Tennessee whiskey is maple charcoal filteredthis contributes a maple aroma and flavor that bourbon does not have though almost every other aspect of their production is similar to each other.
