I think JD calls it a sour mash whiskey because they want it to stand out as something different from other bourbons. It is, it's disgusting.

For those old enough to remember, Jack Daniels used to be fairly decent. At that time it was 90 proof. It has undergone a few downgrades, in proof and I believe aging, over the past 30 or so years. It is unfortunately strictly a coke mixer these days, IMO, and I never mix my hooch with coke. JD does make some tolerable higher-end booze though, so I assume the distiller still knows how to make bourbon/Tennessee whiskey.
