"Chattanooga Distillery is lauded for its innovative approach to whiskey. Though it is a newer addition to the lineup of Tennessee whiskey brands, it has confidently claimed space as one of the best whiskeys you'll find coming out of Tennessee distilleries. Malty bourbons and experimental approaches to bottling booze have helped this distillery forge its reputation in an established industry."
"Whiskey wasn't distilled in Chattanooga, Tennessee since Prohibition, but Tim Piersant and Joe Ledbetter set out to change that. After years of lobbying, distillations began, and Piersant teamed up with Grant McCracken, who pioneered experimental processes. The label's flagship 91, Cask 111, and the Bottled in Bond and Barrel Finishing Series offer a taste of these successful approaches."
"Chattanooga Distillery batches whiskey that has been made using fermentation, a variety of grains, and unique barrel aging techniques. These bourbons are made with a high-malt mash bill, giving each sip a noticeable creamy character. The brand isn't focused on scale and instead concentrates on smaller runs. Whereas other older labels haven't been able to embrace such creativity, this boundary-challenging production style has helped the brand offer whiskey bottles that have attracted a devout fan base."
Chattanooga Distillery revived whiskey production in Chattanooga after Prohibition through persistent licensing efforts by Tim Piersant and Joe Ledbetter, later partnering with Grant McCracken to pioneer experimental processes. The distillery focuses on small-batch production with a high-malt mash bill, week-long low-temperature fermentations, a variety of grains, and non-uniform barrel treatments including custom toasts and chars. Flagship offerings include 91, Cask 111, Bottled in Bond, and Barrel Finishing Series. The production approach emphasizes craft over scale, encourages boundary-challenging techniques, and has built a devoted fan base attracted to the brand's creamy, malty whiskeys.
