Chattanooga Whiskey 111 Cask Strength Tennessee High Malt Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Chattanooga Whiskey · Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery
Chattanooga's high-malt approach produces a bourbon that drinks like twilight itself — familiar enough to welcome, complex enough to hold your attention. Cask strength here means intensity without harshness, a credit to their grain-forward distilling philosophy.
Nose
Rich toffee and toasted malt lead, followed by dark cherry and a thread of pipe tobacco. Beneath the sweetness, charred oak anchors everything with a firm, smoky base.
Palate
Full-bodied and coating, with butterscotch and leather giving way to rye spice and baked apple. The high malt bill delivers an unusual biscuity depth that sets it apart from traditional bourbons.
Finish
Long and warming, with charred oak, tobacco leaf, and a trailing note of dark cocoa that lingers well past the swallow.

Food Pairing
The bourbon's tobacco and charred oak notes mirror the smoky bark of slow-cooked brisket, while the coffee rub's bitterness highlights the whiskey's butterscotch sweetness.
Distilled in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where a small team pioneered a high-malt mash bill that borrows ideas from Scotch-making and applies them to American whiskey.
