Tennessee whiskey is made in Tennessee and charcoal-mellowed. Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 is 40% on the US sheet. Not a ranking.
American rye is a TTB class: at least 51% rye grain, bottled at 40% ABV or higher. Straight rye has tighter aging and additive rules. This is not a 2022 ranking. A 1.5 oz 80-proof pour is one drink; 100 proof is 1.25.
