Chattanooga Whiskey proudly presents its latest limited edition, a masterful creation that marries the art of whiskey-making with the time-honored tradition of wine finishing. This exquisite expression is crafted using a distinctive blend of three bourbon mash bills, including a rare wheated bourbon, and has been meticulously aged for over five years. The whiskey then enjoys an additional two years in White Port casks sourced from the prestigious Carrazeda de Ansiães region of Portugal’s Douro Valley, a locale celebrated for producing ports with remarkable aromatic depth and complexity.
The result is a luxurious whiskey that embodies the essence of both spirits, showcasing a harmonious balance between sweet, confectionary malt notes and the luscious ripeness of fruit. Each sip reveals a journey through rich flavors, enhanced by the nuanced influence of the White Port casks, which impart delicate hints of honey and vanilla. This limited release not only celebrates the craftsmanship of the distillers but also pays homage to the rich heritage of Tennessee whiskey and Portuguese wine, delivering an experience that is both sophisticated and indulgent.
Aroma: A fragrant bouquet of honeyed sweetness, ripe stone fruits, and a touch of vanilla, layered with the subtle earthiness of toasted grains.
Taste: A delightful interplay of rich malt flavors and vibrant fruitiness, showcasing notes of caramel, fig, and a gentle spice, all balanced with a silky mouthfeel.
Finish: A long, smooth finish that lingers with hints of dried fruits and a warm, comforting sweetness, leaving a memorable impression of both whiskey and wine.
Our limited edition finishing series celebrates the union of Tennessee High Malt into a variety of classic finishing casks. Crafted from a combination of unique mash bills – each containing at least 25% specialty malt - each batch is made to complement the flavor characteristics of the finishing barrel.
For our fourth finish, our distillers revisited the famous Port style - this time selecting White Port casks from the Carrazeda de Ansiães region of Portugal’s famous Douro Valley. Known for its high growing elevations and steep inclines, this small growing region within the Douro Valley yields ports with rich & fruity aromatic complexity - boasting sweet notes of honey, vanilla and stone fruit.
To highlight and enhance the qualities of these finishing barrels, our distillers brought together a custom blend of 3 bourbon mash bills, including a coveted wheated bourbon recipe, which contains 3 varieties of toasted & roasted wheat malts.
Aged for over 5 years - including 2 years in the White Port casks - the result showcases a dynamic balance between the flavors of confectionary-sweet malt & luscious ripe fruit - highlighting the best of both whiskey & wine.
