As part of its Experimental Batch Series, Chattanooga Whiskey this month released two new limited edition batches: Bourbon Barreled Gin and Moscatel + Sauternes Barrel Finished.  

Experimental Batch 026: Bourbon Barreled Gin is Chattanooga Whiskey’s second high-malt gin release. Crafted from a variety of botanicals – including honey, hibiscus, coriander and juniper – the Experimental gin explores the  sweeter, fruitier style of gin known as “Old Tom.” Made from their signature Tennessee High Malt mash bill, the  gin was infused and distilled with a blend of 10 botanicals before being finished in single use bourbon barrels for  over six months. The result is a fruit-forward, whiskey lover’s gin. 

Experimental Batch 027: Moscatel + Sauternes Barrel Finished brings together the complementary flavors of two unique European dessert wines: Portuguese Moscatel and French Sauternes. Made from a high malt mash bill that includes Venetian grown pilsner malt, the Experimental bourbon was aged for over two years prior to being transferred into separate finishing casks. After an extended finish of nearly two years, the whiskey was reunited for a blend that highlights the sweet, grassy & floral qualities of both whiskey and wine(s). 

Beginning with their Batch 001 release in August 2017, Chattanooga Whiskey’s Experimental Single Batch Series is a limited collection of single batch whiskeys and spirits born from their 100-gallon Experimental Distillery in downtown Chattanooga, Tenn. Each batch utilizes a multitude of grains, barrels, techniques, and unique ingredients to express creativity. 

Experimental Batch 026 and Batch 027 are available exclusively at the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery. More information about each batch can be found at chattwhiskey.com/experimental-batches. 

Founded in 2011, Chattanooga Whiskey challenged the laws and won the right to distill whiskey in Chattanooga for the first time in over 100 years. The Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery now hosts more than 40,000 visitors per year.
