It's just what it sounds like: a beverage that has had alcohol put in it at the distillery. They do it because it's EXTREMELY hard to accurately control alcohol levels during distillation especially at the beginning and end of a run, or so the distiller at Jack Daniel told me a long time ago. If they want to sell a 90-proof spirit (JD used to be sold at 90 proof; now it's 80) they run the still at 110, collect all the liquor in barrels, age it out, then pour it into a mixing kettle and add water to get it to its advertised proof.
