Tasting Notes

About:

100 proof (50% ABV). A blend of four previously released expressions from Chattanooga Whiskey all barrelled in the Spring of 2017. Mash bills detailed above. MSRP of $49.99 for a 750ml bottle.
Appearance:
Bright and clear, with rich golden caramel hues.
Nose:
Sweet and mostly mellow, with a hint of acetone.
Palate:
High astringency at first. You get all the ingredients of a pecan pie once it settles in; brown sugar, molasses, pecans, a little corn syrup, with a hint of campfire smoke as well. A long, highly astringent finish pulls you back to the first sip.
Finish:
Comments:
This offering really had an impressive packaging and a lot of detail as to what all went into putting this together. I almost feel as if the preview spoiled too much of the actual feature with this one. I was looking forward to something really funky, or at least to get to understand their “Tennessee High Malt Style”. It was enjoyable and I am glad I had the opportunity to try, but it left a little to the imagination.
