Chattanooga Whiskey Scotch Cask is a Tennessee High Malt bourbon finished in Islay Scotch barrels. It combines mash bills B004, with peated malt, naked oat malt and honey malt, and SB091, with caramel, honey and citrus malt. The bourbon is aged over four years, including more than three months in 250-liter Islay hogsheads, bottled at 47.5% ABV, non-chill filtered and produced in small batches of five to seven barrels.
Chattanooga Islay Scotch Cask Finish manages to layer in manageable, well-defined, and naturally integrated Scotch flavor notes with this barrel finished release. The characteristic Scotch flavor notes layer in overtop a bourbon-esque base that has just enough oak and caramel to ground it, but that still allows the Scotch-focused flavors to be the star of the show.
The finish is lip-smacking, with great length. Water unlocks a world of flavor, with clear vision and execution on display. It's different, but delicious.
