Chattanooga Founders 13th Anniversary Blend Whiskey (750ml)

Founder’s 13th Anniversary Blend is, as you can guess from the name, a whiskey released to commemorate Chattanooga Whiskey’s 13th year of making booze. The booze in question is excellent, anchored by a range of unconventional bourbons that are produced from a recipe consisting of a very high percentage of specially roasted malted barley. The core bourbon is called Tennessee High Malt for that reason, and is made from a mashbill of yellow corn, malted rye, caramel malted barley, and honey malted barley (those descriptors refer to the way the grain is roasted, not actual flavoring). After aging for two years, that whiskey is finished in a 4,000-gallon solera barrel where it mingles with much older liquid that is always present in this cask. Chattanooga doesn’t use the Lincoln County Process for its whiskey, choosing to focus on experimenting with malted barley for flavor instead.
