The Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery has made quite a name for itself since it opened in March of 2015. Recently, the popular brand announced the newest addition to its innovative, creative lineup of whiskeys is a line of Rye Single Barrels.
Chattanooga Whiskey Rye Single Barrel Series
Rye Single Barrels are uncut, unfiltered, malt-forward whiskeys that were inspired by the distillery’s first experimental batches. It was crafted with four-grain, three-malt mash bill as the brand’s popular 99 Rye.
The mash bill consists of pale malted rye, caramel malted rye, and chocolate malted rye. This blend of slow-toasted and drum-roasted specialty malts makes up more than 60% of the mash bill.
“Each one of our Single Barrel Series is meant to explore a different side of the craft. The Experimental Single Barrel Series explores whiskey types, mash bills, and barrel types; the Bourbon Single Barrel Series highlights both mash bills and barrel types; and now, the Rye Single Barrel Series showcases our Tennessee Rye Malt mash bill, aged within different barrel types.” Grant McCracken, Chief Product Officer said in a press release.
“Since our 99 Rye is a blend of two barrel types, the goal of this series is to peel them apart and to highlight their dramatically different flavor and aroma qualities. While our classic #4 char barrel highlights the spicy-sweet spirit character of the spirit, our custom toasted and charred barrels meanwhile express a one-of-a-kind, toasty-rich barrel character. Ask me which one I like more today, and I’ll give you a different answer tomorrow.”
