Chattanooga 111 Proof Straight Bourbon (Batch 19J03E), 55.5%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2020 ● Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Grainy on the nose, with butterscotch haystacks, strawberry lollipop, sugared pineapple, mango, dried kiwi, and grape soda. Without water, the palate is crowded with oak, peppery heat, and cocoa; add a bit, however, and there's room for sweet plums and cherries, grape jelly, butterscotch, and chai spices, finishing with dry oak, peanuts, licorice, and tobacco. Made with the distillery's signature “Tennessee high malt” mashbill, which includes corn, malted rye, and two types of malted barley.
