Formulated each year by their founder to commemorate Chattanooga Whiskey's anniversary, Founder's Anniversary Blend is a solera-style expression blended from three one-of-a-kind charred oak solera barrels.
Blended from whiskeys distilled in both Chattanooga and Lawrenceburg, IN, this combination of traditional and innovative recipes showcases the dynamic balance between multiple styles and sources of whiskey - each one symbolic of their past, present, and future.

Each year to commemorate their anniversary, Chattanooga Whiskey founder Tim Piersant evaluates the whiskey within each barrel - trialing various blends to highlight the best of each recipe.
After each year’s blend is complete, the distilling team refills each tank with newly mature barrels, where they will quietly marry until the following year.
