If you’re anything like us, you love a well-made bottle-in-bond whiskey. Lucky for you, there are a lot to choose from. This includes the newest offering from Chattanooga Whiskey: Bottled in Bond Vintage: Spring 2022.

Chattanooga Whiskey Bottled in Bond Vintage: Spring 2022

First developed in 2017 as an experimental single-barrel bourbon, the Chattanooga Whiskey Bottled in Bond Vintage: Spring 2022 is made from a blend of two distinct mash bills. It was hand-selected and scaled at the brand’s Riverfront Distillery in spring 2022. It was distilled and barreled between January 2022 and June 2022, then aged for 4 years.

Chattanooga highlights that this whiskey offers bold, multi-layered flavors, including cherry danish, crème caramel, orange blossom honey, and black tea, setting it apart from other bottled-in-bond releases.

“Every new mash bill we create goes through four years of testing at our Experimental Distillery before we even consider scaling it to our Riverfront Distillery for Bottled in Bond. After that, the recipe is tweaked slightly, and starts over on the larger system. True to style, every Bottled in Bond release is four years old, but every mash bill has gone through eight years of development before it ends up in a vintage blend,” Grant McCracken, Founding Distiller, says.

Where can I buy it?

Chattanooga Whiskey Bottle in Bond: Spring 2022 is available at the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery and at whiskey retailers in Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, DC, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin for the suggested retail price of $52.99 for a 750ml bottle.

The best beers from California you can buy anywhere

California is more than just IPAs

Sierra Nevada

Currently, more than 9,000 breweries of all sizes operate in the US. That’s an awful lot of IPAs, stouts, and lagers to choose from. Some states are more saturated with breweries (per capita) than others. This includes places like Vermont, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, and, of course, California. While I could take a deep dive into all the biggest beer-producing states, today is all about The Golden State.

I have a special affinity for California beer, and it’s because of one style in particular. Sure, you can find a beer style to fit every palate in the state, but in California, the IPA reigns supreme. In fact, if you look at almost any list ranking the best beers in the state, it will be littered with IPA options. While I often imbibe pilsners and other lagers (as well as wheat beers and other lighter beers) in the summer as well as stouts and porters (and other dark beers) in the winter, I always go back to the classic West Coast IPA.

Blue Bottle just proved California can grow world-class coffee

Blue Bottle Coffee just dropped a super rare California-grown coffee

Blue Bottle Coffee

Coffee has always had its origins story – Ethiopia, Colombia, Panama. But California was never part of that conversation, until now. Coffee leader, Blue Bottle, has just launched the California Frinj San Diego Gesha, a washed Gesha grown in San Diego and Santa Barbara counties in partnership with Frinj Coffee, the pioneering network behind California's emerging coffee movement. Gesha is widely regarded as one of the most prized varietals in specialty coffee, known for its delicate floral complexity and fruit-forward character – and this one delivers jasmine, peach, and strawberry in a cup.

Up until now, many coffee brands would shy away from growing specialty-grade coffee in California, as it requires years of experimentation and innovation. For the past two decades, Jay Ruskey, founder of Frinj Coffee, has helped pioneer California coffee product through continual experimentation with innovative growing practices, coffee varieties, and post-harvest processing. Now, this exciting new launch finally reflects that work. Cherries from two California farms were processed at Frinj's wet mill in Ventura, using carefully controlled fermentation to result in an exceptionally clean cup of coffee. This new variety showcases the signature floral aromatics and bright fruit character of the Gesha variety.

Dark rums for whiskey fans

These rums are a great choice for whiskey drinkers

rum bottles

There’s no disputing the appeal of whisk(e)y. Whether it's single malt Scotch whisky, bourbon, rye whiskey, Irish whiskey, or others. There’s something special about this barrel-aged spirit. But it’s not the only aged spirit, and if you’re limiting your sipping to this style, you’re missing out on some other special, flavorful spirit. Especially dark rum.

I’ve spent years imbibing the various forms of whiskey. But every now and then, I branch out and pour myself a glass of dark rum instead. Unsurprisingly, the two spirits have some of the same aromas and flavors. Since both are matured in wood barrels, they impart flavors like caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, and oak (among others). If you don’t already, you should branch out and add dark rum to your aged spirits rotation.
