Chattanooga Whiskey Launches Alien-Inspired Bourbon
The “Top Secret” release from Chattanooga will be available on World UFO Day (24th July)

A Tennessee distillery claims its latest release was reverse-engineered from alien technology discovered in 2015.

In a mostly redacted press release on the 24th June, Chattanooga Whiskey announced the release of Batch “Alpha”: Intergalactic Comet Crusher, a limited-edition bourbon liqueur the company says originated from mysterious wreckage found at its Experimental Distillery. The 84-proof bourbon liqueur will retail for $49.99 per 750ml bottle and launches as part of World UFO Day celebrations on June 24.

Unusual Origin Story for New Whiskey Release

According to the distillery, unknown craft debris crashed onto the roof of its Experimental Distillery in summer 2015. Among the wreckage, staff discovered what appeared to be blueprints for an intergalactic highway and a glowing green bottle labeled “Intergalactic Comet Crusher.”

“Unable to resist, their distillers took one sip and unanimously agreed it was the best drink in existence,” the company stated in its press release. The distillery claims it spent the following decade reverse-engineering the mysterious liquid through “light time travel” to recreate the formula.

The bourbon liqueur features an infusion of “at least” 42 botanicals, according to official tasting notes. The company describes categories including “SEQUI5” and “observable” ingredients, listing the original recipe’s coordinates as “1698/1009.”

Limited Availability and Whiskey Specifications

Batch “Alpha” consists of only 12 barrels and will be available at the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery. The liqueur is bottled at 84 proof, with official tasting notes describing flavors “reminiscent of having your brains smashed out by a bag of lemons dipped in 42 karat gold.”

Founded in 2011, Chattanooga Whiskey successfully challenged Tennessee laws to become the first distillery in Chattanooga in over 100 years. The company operates two facilities: the Experimental Distillery at 1439 Market Street and the Riverfront Distillery at 950 Riverfront Parkway. The distillery produces several core expressions including Chattanooga Whiskey 91, Cask 111, and 99 Rye.
Chattanooga Whiskey was named Icons of Whisky – Craft Producer of the Year for both America and Global markets at Whisky Magazine’s 2023 World Whiskies Awards. The independently owned distillery emphasizes Tennessee High Malt style production methods.

The Intergalactic Comet Crusher release continues Chattanooga Whiskey’s experimental approach to bourbon production. Online shipping information is available through Seelbachs.com for customers outside the local market.
