Chattanooga Whiskey took home: Craft Producer of the Year at the 2023 at the Icons of Whisky Awards in London AND the Craft Producer of the Year (America) title in Kentucky back in February.
For every bottle we sell, we test and taste just to make sure (It would be irresponsible not to). And this truly won us over, and unexpectedly, as it was new to us. We also spend a lot of time reviewing experts we trust, like Breaking Bourbon, Bourbon Culture, etc. The Whiskey Rambler have broken down the Chattanooga 1816 Reserve so well I have taken their comments directly and with their thanks.
"Of all the bottles I returned home with last year, Chatannooga 1816 Reserve was easily the biggest surprise from a price-to-quality standpoint. What impressed me the most was how deep and weighty it came across. Normally experiences like that come from bottles commanding far higher prices. The flavour profile was also on-point; the more aged components from the solera cask undoubtedly play a beneficial role here.
As the first release of Chattanooga Whiskey, 1816 Reserve offers a unique and constantly evolving profile due to its solera-style aging process. Blending 2-10-year aged bourbon from Ross & Squibb, this bottle promises a beautifully complex and smooth taste, with each sip offering something new.
"We are so proud. Proud to bring Tennessee High Malt to the global stage; proud to represent Chattanooga, Tennessee; and proud to further solidify our country's reputation as a world leader in craft whiskey," said Grant McCracken, Founding Distiller and Chief Production Officer.
In 2024, Chattanooga Whiskey 91 will replace the company’s 1816 Reserve. This is a rare find for your bar, so buy 2 one to drink and one to keep.
