Chattanooga Whiskey continues to push the boundaries of distilling with Experimental Batch 033, which involves three peated whiskeys, three peated malts, in three peated finishing casks.
This blend of pot distilled bourbon, column distilled bourbon and column distilled malt whiskey was made with three different peated malts from three different UK malthouses - each one bringing their own unique, rich, smoky malt character.
After primary aging in new charred oak, the whiskeys were finished in casks from three different Islay Scotch distilleries - each from the southernmost part of the Isle – near Kildalton. Together, the three whiskeys, three peated malts and three finishing casks merge into one, peat-forward blend, with a smoky complexity that is greater than the sum of its parts.
