TENNESSEE BRIEFS

New Tennessee nursing home admissions banned amid violations NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee health officials have banned a nursing home from taking in new residents due to violations. The state Department of Health says new admissions were cut off at Brookhaven Manor in Kingsport this week. Issues were found at the 180- bed facility during an investiga- tion from Nov. 1 through Dec. 7. The problems dealt with administration, performance improvement, physician services, infection control, nursing services and resident rights.

The dominant Tennessee whiskey brand is Jack Daniel’s, the flagship product of Brown-Forman Corp. “Anytime you’re making a really good, quality product, there’s going to be room for that,” Lunn said in a phone interview. Sazerac said it hasn’t officially coined a brand name for its Tennessee whiskey. Before production begins, the company said it has to modify the distillery’s pot stills. Sazerac said it will follow what is known as the “Lincoln County Process,” which requires whiskey to be filtered through maple charcoal before being aged in unused charred barrels made out of oak. The filtering requirement makes up the principal difference from mak- ing bourbon.
