![]() Score: 3.5/5 Tasting Notes: Chattanooga Whiskey Cask 111 The Chattanooga Whiskey 91 was good on the rocks, but I enjoyed it more mixed into fresh iced tea and garnished with lemon slices. Notes of vanilla and sweet honey wafted through. There was a light smokiness from the charred oak and a sweet, creaminess from the malt that balanced each other out nicely. Creamy ice cream sundaes covered in thick, melted butterscotch, and rich, malted milkshakes coat my mouth.įinal Thoughts: I enjoyed the Chattanooga Whiskey 91. Palate: Sweet, sticky toffee and smooth vanilla bean. A light smokiness comes thru, lingering like a campfire in the distance. Familiar scents that remind me of my childhood smells of buttered popcorn, fried elephant ears. A shade of brownish-yellow copper, like the changing hues of falling leaves blowing carelessly in the wind. Priced at $35 for a 750ml bottle.Īppearance: A medium, rich, golden color like a honey and brown sugar body scrub. Made from a mash bill of 51% corn, as well as three malted grains: malted rye, caramel malted barley, and honey malted barley. Finished in 4000-gallon charred oak solera barrels. Vital States: Aged in new, toasted and charred oak barrels. While the 91 is malty and sweet, with a medium body and lingering smokey finish Cask 111 is full-bodied and rich, with complex flavors of smoke meets spice, a malty smoothness, and a hot, warming finish. By skipping the filtration process, this straight bourbon whiskey remains strong and flavorful.īoth of these “Tennessee High Malt Whiskies” are essentially Tennessee straight bourbon whiskies that are malt-forward and carefully made is small batches. However, Cask 111 is unfiltered, and it’s bottled at barrel strength at 111 proof. Like the 91, Cask 111 is also aged for a minimum of two years in toasted and charred new oak barrels. After being aged for a minimum of two years, in new toasted and charred oak barrels, Chattanooga Whiskey 91 is then finished in a charred 4000-gallon oak solera barrel.Ĭhattanooga Whiskey CASK 111 is made from the same four-grain mash bill as the 91 McCracken’s recipe of yellow corn and three malted grains: malted rye, caramel malted barley, and honey malted barley. The four-grain mash bill recipe was chosen by Master Distiller Grant McCracken. Chattanooga Whiskey 91 got it’s name because it was ‘Barrell 91’ out of one-hundred barrels distilled at Chattanooga Whiskey’s Experimental Distillery.
