Chattanooga Whiskey A TRUE TENNESSEE BOURBON In 2015, Chattanooga Whiskey began crafting the malt-forward straight bourbon that became their Tennessee High Malt. For a younger company, they've carved out a niche not just with their unique whiskey, but with their place in Chattanooga's history. Vote Whiskey In 1917, the "Bone Dry Act" brought alcohol production in Tennessee to a full stop. By 2009, it had been re-opened to 41 counties throughout the state. However, Chattanooga didn't fall within one of those counties. In 2011, Tim Piersant and Joe Ledbetter put together an initiative to put Chattanooga whiskey on the map with their "vote whiskey" movement. The response was massive, and was the foundation for the HB 102 "whiskey bill" to pass with 57-31 votes in favor in May of 2013.
Tennessee High Malt Bourbon Whiskey Mash Bill: - Yellow Corn - Malted Rye - Caramel Malted Barley - Honey Malted Barley Aged in toasted and charred oak and finished in a 4,000 gallon charred oak solera barrel. . Both the 91 proof and the 111 proof are nose forward with malt and a balance of sweetness and savory notes such as vanilla, caramel, tobacco, and leather. The 91 proof has a balanced palate of malty earthiness and classical sweetness, while the 111 displays a more robust palate of delicious vanilla and a smooth dry finish.
