While I'm not sure how you can produce bourbon in Tennessee, it is labeled as bourbon, not Tennessee whiskey.

All Tennessee whiskeys are "bourbon" but not all bourbons are Tennessee whiskey.
Tennessee whiskey is a bourbon that has had the extra step of being charcoal filtered before bottling. It is this extra process that makes it a "Tennessee whiskey".
Belle Mead is I believe still a non-distiller producer as they do not actually make whiskey at all. Just a brand name for a generic whiskey produced by a third party at the giant MGP distillation facility in Indiana. MGP is a contract distillery that supplies MANY of the non-distiller producers.
