Chattanooga Finished in Moscatel and Sauternes Barrels, 55%

Price: 70 Issue: Spring 2023 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Raspberry, plum, apple, and grape aromas open this mildly funky and fruity whiskey. The influence of the cask finishes shows a rancio quality that guides the nose and palate. The palate deepens with baking chocolate, plum wine, and pizza dough. The moscatel and sauternes barrels take center stage here, standing in front of subtle orange and oak spice. The finish is long and spicy, bringing balance to the funk.
