Chattanooga Whiskey Founder’s 12th Anniversary Blend review

Tasting Notes

About:

Chattanooga Whiskey Founder’s 12th Anniversary Blend is a complex blend of American whiskeys drawn upon once a year to celebrate the Tennessee distillery’s anniversary. It is bottled at 100 proof and priced at $59.99.
Appearance:
The glass showcases a satisfying amber-orange color, joined by moderate legs and viscosity.
Nose:
As one smells it, this has a deep and complex set of aromatics, drawing out decadent notes of orange peel, spiced rye, sweet Hawaiian bread, vanilla, some oak, peaches, salt water taffy, and a hint of chocolate brownie.
Palate:
When WOW is the first thing to come to mind when this hits the palate, you know you’re in for a good-tasting ride. The notes here are pretty spectacular, coming together as a symphony of orange candy, malted chocolate balls, smoky oak, spicy black pepper, rich vanilla pudding, a kiss of peaches and cream, and a subtle kick of toasted almonds,
Finish:
This finishes warm and welcoming, carrying some spice and sweetness into the back throat for a nice moderate end.
Comments:
Chattanooga Whiskey Founder’s 12th Anniversary Blend is a whiskey you’ll want to savor with every sip and consider with every pour. The complexity of the solera blend is mastered in this offering, delivering a near-perfect marriage of individual components into a diverse and deeply enjoyed release.
