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.

All bourbons are Whiskeys. Jack Daniel's is a Tennessee Whiskey, which is a type of bourbon.

The 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.
no it is american whisky and charcoal flavour
Jack Daniels
Jack Daniels is a sour mash Tennessee whiskey. It's a type of bourbon whiskey, not scotch whisky or Irish whiskey.
Scotch whiskey is a contradiction, Scotch is whisky. Frank Sinatra drank Jack Daniels on the Rocks. 2 fingers of Jack, 4 ice cubes, and topped off with water (not tap water!).
