Not necessarily, sour MASH is a special process that some whiskey distilleries use to make their whiskeys flavor taste more consistent among other things. See the Related Links for an article explaining it.

Bourbon is a type of whiskey.

Specifically, straight bourbon is an American whiskey comprised from the distillation of mostly fermented American-grown corn, distilled to no more than 80% concentration, barreled at no stronger than 62.5% concentration with no alterations other than dilution with water, and aged in new charred oak barrels for at least two years.

Is jack Daniels a whisky?

In short, it is both.Whiskey is any alcohol distilled from grain mash. Bourbon is a whiskey that is made from a grain mash containing a minimum of 51% corn (although virtually all bourbons are made from at least 66% corn), aged for at least two years in new charred oak barrels, and with an alcoholic content no more than 80% (160 proof). A common misnomer is that there cannot be more than 79% corn in a bourbon - this is inaccurate.Source:US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms "Definition for Distilled Spirits":http://www.distill.com/specs/USA10.htmlAll bourbons are Whiskeys. Jack Daniel's is a Tennessee Whiskey, which is a type of bourbon.Source:North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) - Annex 313http://www.sice.oas.org/trade/nafta/chap-034.aspThe distillery itself does claim that Jack Daniel's is not a bourbon because it is charcoal filtered (see http://www.jackdaniels.com/faq.aspx ), but this is irrelevant, as there is no such legal stipulation and there are other bourbons that are charcoal filtered as well.
