Chattanooga Whiskey Straight Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Proof 111

Color

Nose

The nose is dynamic and continues to change the longer it sits in the glass. A first the nose heavy vanilla, oak, and a bit of baking spices. The longer the bourbon sat in my glass, the more the sweeter notes started coming out. I had hints of maple syrup, sweet malt, and what smelled exactly like my grandma’s french toast.

Finish

This bourbon had a medium finish that left my palate coated with the spice residue that soon turned into a nutty aftertaste.

In conclusion

The guys at Chattanooga Whiskey are doing something different than what has been done before and they are doing it well. This is a bourbon that you will likely love or hate. With their unique mash bill and fermentation process they were able to bring out flavors I have been longing to find in a bourbon. Sipping this bourbon reminded me a lot of sitting next to a campfire and the aromas you got from those fall nights. This bourbon is still young but it can definitely hold its own in flavor and complexity.
