Chattanooga Straight Rye Malt (Batch 20G05R2), 49.5%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2020 ● Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton ● Category: Rye Whiskey
If you're searching for the perfect whiskey to pair with ribs, look no further. Chili powder spices of paprika, cumin, black pepper, and dried chiles leap out of the glass, along with tea leaf, dark berries, dark chocolate, and candied orange peel. The palate, chewy and textured, stays consistent with savory and spicy notes of Spanish chorizo, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, red pepper flakes, blackberry, raspberry, and orange peel. It finishes short but satisfying, with more chili powder, black pepper, and smoked almonds.
