Chattanooga Whiskey Cask 111 High Malt Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Chattanooga Whiskey · Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery
Chattanooga Whiskey has built its identity around experimental mash bills, and Cask 111 is the proof of concept distilled to its essence. The high malt proportion delivers a texture and sweetness profile unlike traditional bourbons, rewarding drinkers who want something genuinely different without sacrificing depth.
Nose
Rich caramel and toasted malt open the nose, followed by dark cherry and a thread of baking spice. There is a subtle nuttiness underneath, almost like pecan brittle, with faint orange peel at the edges.
Palate
Full-bodied and chewy, with brown spices, butterscotch, and cocoa arriving in quick succession. The high malt content asserts itself as a biscuity, cereal-grain sweetness that balances the cask-strength heat. Leather and charred oak emerge toward the midpalate.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering charred oak, malt, and a final whisper of dark chocolate. The spice fades slowly into toasted grain.

Food Pairing
The bourbon's malt backbone and charred oak tannins cut through the fatty richness of smoked pork belly, while the maple glaze echoes the whiskey's butterscotch sweetness.
Founded in 2011 in a city that had been dry for over a century, Chattanooga Whiskey's experimental distillery on the south side of the Tennessee River produces over 100 mash bills annually, with Cask 111 representing their flagship high-malt vision.

Legent represents a rare East-meets-West collaboration between Beam's master distiller Fred Noe and Suntory's chief blender Shinji Fukuyo, where the simple act of exposing bourbon to different cask atmospheres transforms the spirit entirely. The partial finishing in wine and sherry barrels allows air and wood to reshape a classic bourbon profile into something layered and cosmopolitan. A compelling expression of how environment—the breath between barrels—shapes what ends up in your glass.
