But there is another much smaller distillery in the state –Chattanooga whiskey– which has made a name with a few classic and experimental versions. These include a series of vintage bottles in the bottle, and the details of the last have just been announced.
Chattanooga whiskeywhich is located in the city of the same name, began to do whiskey Ten years ago and launched its Bond Vintage series in 2021. As a reminder, “Booted in Bond” means that whiskey is at least 4 years old, in a 100 -proof bottle and produced at a distillery during a distillation season. Chattanooga whiskey releases his bib bourbon As vintages, in the same way as Nicole Austin Dictatious The fact, and the last is the vintage of spring 2021.
The distillery is known to make bourbon using what it calls a high malt puree bill, which means that there are several types of malted barley and malted rye as well as corn included in the recipe. This version brings a new mash invoice to the series called Barrel 78, which includes roasted grains. According to a press release, the Mash Bill was appointed according to the 78th barrel filled with the experimental distillery and consists of five grains, including the malted Belgian basic barley, the malted caramel barley and the malted barley smoked by Cherisier.
“Every six months, our team goes through our large library of puree invoices to decide which we want to produce this season,” said the Grant McCracken distillery foundation in a press release. “While we like to make our basic recipes as” wheat “and” roast “, we will occasionally decide to set a new project of promising invoice of our experimental distillery.”
The final recipe is represented by 20% of this new puree bill with two others – 30% are their Malt mash bill with a barrel, and 50% are their wheat puree bill. Whiskey was produced in two lots of 10 barrels filled between January and June 2021 (a distillation season). McCracken has provided tasting notes for the new version. “Barrel 78 is an anomaly with regard to flavor,” he said. “Alone, the Mash Bill has subtle notes of chocolate malt, and even a hint of sweet smoke. But when mixed in this spring / summer mixture, it acts as a flavor for the other two puree invoices (especially our wheat recipe).
