The Shining (1980)

Corrected entry: Jack asks to be served a bottle of bourbon, but the bartender pours a glass of Jack Daniels, a sour mash.

Correction: This gets debated but is largely a semantic point. JD calls itself Tennessee Whiskey, but per Wikipedia that's "legally defined under Tennessee House Bill 1084, the North American Free Trade Agreement and at least one other international trade agreement as the recognized name for a straight bourbon whiskey produced in Tennessee. It is also required to meet the legal definition of bourbon under Canadian law." So yes, Jack Daniel's is also bourbon, even if it can be given a more specific name too.
